Small suggestions to be more precise on actual implementation

5. Deployments and Performance Evaluations
As of the time of writing, HyStart++ as described in draft versions 01
through 04 was default enabled for all TCP connections in the Windows
operating system for over three years *with an actual L = 8*. The original
Hystart has been default-enabled for all TCP connections in the Linux
operating system using the default congestion control module CUBIC
([RFC8312]) for a decade *with an infinite L*.

Personally I think having the "L" ABC constraint would hinder hystart
performance.It's maybe too late to modify the actual algorithm hence I ask
the implementation description can be more precise.
