Thank you for keeping the compatility, this seems an excellent way forward.

The change only affects CCID-2, TCP-like congestion control. This still has
some unresolved issues (related to cwnd) in its implementation.

Once these have been resolved, we can return to tracking the state of the 
art in TCP, for the moment your patch works best.
