So our TCP stack can observe this and say "ah, that route doesn't do ECN; let's retry without ECN and see if we get a better response".
This might work. Although, a tougher case to handle are the firewalls which just silently drop the packet if ECN bits are set. The timeout is just too long to make a "backdown and try withough ECN" scheme worthwhile in that case.
