Because this will add a Fallback (non ECN) packet to every denied target. I think this is bad policy at least. It might violate the RFCs, too. Keep in mind, we cannot recognice a rejection due to ECN.
It does in fact violate RFCs because the fallback has to handle the case where ECN rejection comes in the form of a (perfectly valid) TCP reset.
Any workaround which ignores TCP resets is broken from the start and is not to be implemented.
