"Somehow, it is still the case that roughly 95\% of the
traffic seems to be using some form of vaguely-conformant TCP,
the steady-state packet drop rate is not spiralling up to 10 or 20
percent, and congestion collapse has not yet hit.  I think that we
shouldn't press our luck, and I think that deterrents are indeed
necessary, but I don't think that the addition of ECN makes the job of
providing such deterrents any more difficult, or any more pressing.

I think that the need for such deterrents is already pretty pressing..."
