Hi Jakub,

Thanks for your feedback.

I understand the concern about review overhead. The reason I think this
patch is worthwhile is that the current comment has been misleading for
years. It only describes the common case but omits the sharp RTT drop
case, which can confuse developers (especially newbies) trying to
understand the RTO calculation logic.

If you still think this fix is not worth a standalone patch, I'm happy
to follow your suggestion on how to best get it in.

Thanks,
Ziran Zhang
