Yes; this would be a win.  Since it's generally a network hackers toy,
we should make it less restrictive.  But the code freeze means it will
remain a separate patch until 2.4.1 at least.

This would be excellent; even better to use the path mtu, so if
someone else has a lower MTU (causing the first TCP connection to
stall), the second one might succeed.
