Hmm...I'm not sure to agree that the majority of the congestion control feature 
is covered by origin_max_connections. Congestion control feature as defined has 
a "mechanism" to mark an origin congested, which afaik origin_max_connections 
doesn't support.

Do you actually see a more compelling reason to deprecate the feature other 
than not finding any active users? Fwiw, I've experimented this feature a bit 
(and it seems to work the way I expected it to work) have plans on using it in 
the near future. So, unless there are strong reasons that indicate this feature 
not working well in conjunction with other features and is not easy to fix 
without breaking a lot of things around, I'd prefer to continue to keep the 
feature.

Thanks,

Sudheer

I'd like to propose we deprecate and remove the "congestion control"
features within ATS. Currently this feature is disabled by default, and
from my interactions I can't seem to find anyone that uses this feature. In
addition, the majority of this functionality is covered with
`origin_max_connections`.

Appreciate any feedback.
