IMHO there's no need to take risks currently, lets see what the debug 
info reveals, it might even show that some (maybe even all because 
sacktag bugs haven't been seen for a while) fackets_out problems occur 
for non-SACK TCP, which won't be a problem at all and that one could 
safely be silenced if so desired...
