If I were in a bad mood, I'd say that the three of us prefer simple, robust
solutions that solve actual problems to complex, brittle hacks that are
not going to be implemented anyway.

No, we couldn't.  Happy eyeballs (or MP-TCP, or MP-QUIC, or MP-Mosh) uses
the services provided by source-specific routing.  They work in combination.

(Come on, Ted.  You already knew that.)

This has nothing to do with the amount of flash or RAM.  It has everything
to do with having protocols that can be implemented in finite time and
with a only a finite number of bugs, and with building networks that can
survive whatever bugs remain.
