That *is* big news.

I have no doubt that all the various Linux folks will watch this mass deployment of ECN closely, and - as long as no major fails show up as a result - might finally grow the balls to turn it on by default themselves.

If major fails *do* show up, then hopefully it’ll just be an impetus to get the remaining blackholes and stupid firewalls fixed.

Microsoft is, as always, an unknown factor in all this, but who cares.
