Presently, the Prague congestion control algorithm is unsafe on the Internet without a properly functioning classic-bottleneck detection heuristic.  Additionally, the classic-bottleneck detection heuristic that has been published and demonstrated does not function properly.  This combination of facts absolutely *is* a blocker for WGLC.

Therefore, this issue should not be closed until it has been concretely addressed.
