Yes, that's the plan.  I'd like you guys to test the new LQR stuff when
I MFC if you can.

I think there are good arguments for having more than one LQR failure policy
(disconnect when the peer doesn't respond), so I'll probably implement
something like this when the latest stuff has been tested.

Cheers.
