Right -- systemd have just-now agreed to set the change in their upstream 
systemd sysctl files :-
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/6f130e85c76cfc2c58ba31f90d2ac3800866c1dd

I notice, however, that ubuntu's systemd pkg 'strips most those settings
out', in 18.04 currently only carrying the 18.04 fq_codel switch-on in
their sysctl.d....


I think, given what has been said, I would like to propose that I :-

* Make a suggested text for a 10-network-bufferbloat.conf  here in
procps in 18.10 (hopefully-onwards, including suitable
references/comments about BBR (which should be there but commented/not-
enabled yet unless we are sure its' been fixed to respond to ECN
notifications.).  This text shall explain clearly these are deliberately
being tested into 18.10 and where to report bugs.

* Look at what ubuntu's systemd package towards 18.10 is importing in
sysctl.d -- and likely suggest ubuntu 'taken out' entirely  so  procps
is the 'one' location for these settings (i.e. no duplicate setting of
qdisc=fq_codel in 2 different places).  Some will want to boot ubuntu
with OpenRC or upstart for whatever reasons and consistent-behaviour
would be helpful...

* Ask in the BBR community about tcp_congestion_control goings-on there,
when they are ready for ECN-compatible BBR wider-deployment.

* Then, as/when seems appropriate, suggest changes into upstream-debian
and upstream-kernel on the defaults.

@rbalint -- what do you think on this plan for the interim?
