Dumb idea:

  http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-allman-tcpm-bump-initcwnd-00.txt

I.e.,

  - Stop waving our hands about where things might break.

  - Be less aggressive than the 10 segment IW proposed by Jerry, et.al.

  - Do something.  And, start observing how it actually works.

  - Get to 10 segments in 3 years.  But, with much less fluffy
    discussion and hand waving.

  - Don't stop at 10 segments, but go all the way to 15 segments over
    the course of the next 9 years (which is how long it has been since
    we last increased the IW).

allman, stirin' the pot
