This patch contains the following cleanups: - note in the prompt if an option depends on EXPERIMENTAL
Who decided whether a particular option is 'experimental' or not? Lawrence S. Brakmo and Larry L. Peterson. TCP Vegas: end to end congestion avoidance on a global Internet. IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, 13(8), October 1995.
quoted hunk
config TCP_CONG_VEGAS - tristate "TCP Vegas" + tristate "TCP Vegas (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on EXPERIMENTAL
I think the *right* fix here is '- depends on EXPERIMENTAL'. 1995. Geez. :) (Probably *all* of the 'experimental' tags for congestion control need an in-depth review - but Vegas struck me as particularly egregious.)
