Please no, it makes the socket option useless.
Technical no, in the sense of usability for everybody yes. You are right
Stephen, as a programmer I understand you complete!
But on the other side: We know for sure that this IS a problem if we allow
everybody to "prefer his socket".
In my opinion we should prefer fairness before usability! As John Heffner
introduce, we can introduce a ranking system for congestion control algorithms -
but this solution seems a little bit oversized and maybe can't be complete
guaranteed (complex interaction between the protocols in different
environment and so on, you know).

If there is a dangerous choice, then it should be removed. Otherwise I can't
see the problem. It is a bigger risk to have to escalate the privileges
of an application
just to allow it to use something.
