Dave - assuming I've interpreted Eric's comments correctly, I believe
the answer to your question is No. Your desire for a world brimming
with ack-every-other purity has not been fulfilled :)
However, the engineers formerly at Mentat are probably pleased that a
functional near-equivalent to their ACK avoidance heuristic has ended-up
being implemented and tacitly accepted, albeit by the back door :)

More stuff to pull from a TCP_INFO call I presume? Feel free to drop me
a patch, though I'd probably want it to be in the guise of the omni
output selectors.
happy benchmarking,
