Thanks for the pointer! At that point in time there was not enough
experience with it.

That's right, maybe Wolfram was busy with other stuff.
Our group, however, worked with it at speeds of 1 Gbit/s
and also 10 Gbit/s and we can confirm that its performance is comparable
to - and w.r.t. loss desynchronization - even better than CoDel or PIE
in many of our tested scenarios. Since it's heading for just an
experimental status, the bar shouldn't be too high to get this finished.
