I think you only want to give *hints* when things have gotten  
*worse*.  Giving hints that things have gotten better may mislead a  
sender to thinking that they know where the bottleneck is, etc.  A  
hint that available capacity may be reduced may encourage a sender to  
reduce their rate to avoid a packet loss (or something).
