I just realized that unlike NO_DSACK, this change assumes removing the
sysctl and defaulting on.  I'm opposed to removing this sysctl, so I'm
opposed to this change.

I'd prefer the ability to both turn on for global default off, and
turn off for global default on.  Shouldn't that be 2 different bits?

Or should this be a toggle?  How do other systems handle it?

Once again, no it does not do no such thing. The sysctl and semantics 
stays here just the same.

The RTAX_FEATURE_SACK is not sued AFAIK in current code at all.
