Presumably if the user decides to tweak these knobs, they'll know
what's appropriate for their environment.

Are you sure? I'm not. I fully agree with David that minRTO is
something that a user shout not control at all

Or are you suggesting that
one value be derived from the other?  (e.g. tcp_initial_fallback_rto =
3 * tcp_initial_rto)

As a result of all of this, I do not really think this is something
the user should control at all.

I really would rather see the initial RTO be static and be set to 1
with fallback RTO of 3.

I can also provide a simple patch for this if you want to start from
there.  And then maybe we can discuss having a runtime knob some more
:-)
