No.

It's good for your browsing experience (yuck what a horrible phrase), or
at least it will be.

What you *really* should do is complain to the sites in question that
block you.

If you administer websites and so on then you should check that they
allow ECN through.

If you care about any of this it's been bashed to death on linux-kernel.
marc.theaimsgroup.com is a good site for an archive of linux-kernel (and
other lists).

Simon.
