This is a clear and concise articulation of one of my concerns, thanks. To
give an example, bandwidth aggregation is literally throwing more bandwidth
at a problem. Other extensions might also help improve the goodput of
connections. My spin off thread about composability was in part trying to
shed light on single-path QUIC extensions that may mitigate some of the
problems clients have; where do those fit in?
