Is this really necessary?  I thought that the problems with ABC were in 
trying to apply byte-based heuristics from the RFC(s) to a 
packet-oritented cwnd in the stack?

This is receiver side, and helps a sender who does congestion
control based upon packet counting like Linux does.   It really
is less related to ABC than Alexey implies, we've always had
this kind of problem as I mentioned in previous talks in the
past on this issue.
