I'll keep this to the point I thought got missed.

https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-tcpm-rack-04.txt

Is where we can see `Scheduling a loss probe` getting changed.
Specifically, following condition has been removed from -04:

   3.  The connection is either limited by congestion window (the data
       in flight matches or exceeds the cwnd) or application-limited
       (there is no unsent data that the receiver window allows to be
       sent).

And afaict, Linux code still has this condition in. If you can provide
some rationale behind this change, it'd be great.

Thanks a ton,
Hiren
