I agree with Jim that the above statement is too strong.

My personal take is that:
        - it is sufficient in many enviroments
        - it is not sufficient in some specific environments

so my suggestion would be along the lines of :
"While in some Diff-Serv environments, implementing proper buffer management and scheduling
mechanisms will be sufficient to provide enhanced quality of service, there are other environments where complementary mechanisms may be required. In these latter environments, in addition to buffer management and scheduling mechanisms, it may be desirable to control  .... "
