Re: [PATCH net-next 2/2] tcp: add NV congestion control

The reason why this may be necessary, is that under some conditions
NV flows competing with more aggressive flows will perform
poorly. People may be more willing to test NV if there is a quick
and simple way to revert if necessary (without having to restart the
flows).

This is a property that may apply to any congestion control algorithm
whatsoever, not just NV.
