This is the main question I have!
We've also discussed the idea of eBPF-based schedulers, so I've been
thinking we would have one built-in scheduler and then allow alternatives
(like round robin) via eBPF.
If there's a good use case for round robin maybe there's a solution here
similar to what we did with the fullmesh path manager: could there be a
configuration knob for the existing scheduler that makes it try to *not*
use the last-used subflow, instead of favoring the last-used subflow?
