This change did indeed break our mail servers at Wikimedia, causing
difficult to diagnose timeout errors on sending outgoing email. I
resorted to bisecting the kernel, which resulted in finding this commit.
I have verified that reverting the sysctl value for
tcp_fastopen_blackhole_timeout_sec to 3600 does resolve the timeouts.

Given that it is not clear how a user would discover that this sysctl
has changed, or know how to fix a middle box somewhere on a path to
their destination, I would love to see this change reverted.

Yours kindly, Jesse Hathaway
