No, and I didn't receive your email either. :(
My previous argument still holds:
> AFAIK syn cookies only get send when the half-open TCP connection
queue is full. So stuff like window scaling should work fine in normal
situations.
BTW, what's the recommended way to reply to a bug report if you don't
have any previous emails? Right now I just copy/paste stuff, but that's
inconvenient.

seen is to not enable this feature by default.
I haven't seen any proper reasoning yet.
Today I again had to debug a server with trouble, turned out syn cookies
were needed again.
The fact the kernel doesn't log any errors when the queue overflows
certainly doesn't help.
