IMO, it is named "time to establish connection" because if we don't hear back within that time period when in state < TCPS_ESTABLISHED, we drop the connection.

JFYI and you may already know that.
Regarding the proposed patch, I have no opinion.

Thanks for your submission.

The man page for tcp(4) has a nice, succinct description of this sysctl setting.

Unless anyone has a strong opinion about this, I close this bug.
