Thing is they don't shoot into their own foot but everybody else's foot
in a non-obvious and difficult to debug manner.  While it is user-changeable
in Linux it not through the normal easy /proc path equaling a sysctl on our
side.

FreeBSD never had the option to adjust the ICWND except through enabling
rfc3390.  I'll hold it the same with this one and refuse to make it arbitrarily
user tuneable.  It really is not something a normal user/admin should touch.
