If I apply this, we're stuck supporting this experimental number
forever.

Because somewhere, someone will have a kernel running using this
number, so we have to support this option value as well as whatever
the official one is.

Therefore I think the only logical thing we can do is only deploy
this once an official option number is choosen.

I would store these in the new tcp metrics cache.

Any argument against doing so wrt. expiry is bogus, because you can
implement whatever time limit you want using a jiffies based
expiration value.
