Nowadays the same effect can be obtained from the pacing timer.  Just set the CA scale factor to 50% to get an effective minimum cwnd of 1, or lower still if needed.

In most of our SCE testing, we're now setting the SS scale factor to 100% (the default is 200%, which means the cwnd is sent over half an RTT and the other half is idle) and the CA scale factor to 40% (default is 120%, so the effective minimum cwnd is actually 2.4 from a packet-pair standpoint).  See the last substantive slide in the IETF-105 SCE deck.
