That would be a shame. It makes a huge difference when shovling bits across my DSL line to my -stable laptop. Running netperf from a -current alpha with newreno, I consistantly see 650-700Kb/s. From a -stable i386 without newreno, I see variable results from 300-500Kb/sec with large stutters, so to speak, where there is no traffic at all for one second (or at least I don't see any packets in systat -tcp 1). I hope this problem can be fixed -- I was actually hoping that newreno could be MFC'ed.
