Agreed, I'm happy with the status quo.  If you want to game congestion control, there are plenty of ways to be unilaterally more aggressive.

The reason ACK-only packets are the only ones that aren't congestion controlled is to allow sending ACKs even if there's no available congestion control or you'd otherwise be pacing limited.  And the main reason they don't count towards bytes in flight is because they don't elicit an ACK to allow them to be removed from bytes in flight.
