The new fixes are much less important than the first one so I have no
problem with them waiting a bit. I do think that only actively testing
the SACK processing correctness and performance will show anything. It's
been shown time and again that most peoples just take the existing
behaviour as ok even if it is inefficient at best.

I'll try to get access to a network testbed or setup a virtual one on my
laptop and actually test this code.
