No, r277213 was requested to be reverted not due to TCP issues. The main complain is that you left indefinite amount of cases degraded, and there is no analysis of each such case, nor even a list of the cases that need to be fixed (or argumentation why consumer of the callout KPI could be left as is). Just providing fix for one place is not enough.
