Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH V2] tcp: introduce raw access to experimental
 options

I just want you to know that I've very displeased with this
feature.

These things belong in a controlled environment in our TCP stack, so
hack our TCP stack if you want to play with experimental TCP options.

I do not want to add ways to poke around, either via socket options
or completely opaque interfaces exported to modules, with TCP options.

Sorry.
