I would disagree about "well vetted" (at the level that TCPM
needs to incorporate such a major change in the protocol)
unless I see some very thorough measurements showing
that no harm comes from such a change, in various environments,
with various possible traffic occurrences coming and going...

Talking about this in ICCRG wouldn't be a bad thing at all,
it's really a reasonable first step IMO.

Cheers,
Michael
