The philosophical problem I have with this suggestion is that I expect
that the large majority of users will be more happy with disabled TSO
if they use non standard qdiscs and defaults that do not fit 
the majority use case are bad.

Basically you're suggesting that nearly everyone using tc should learn about
another obscure command.
