The "we'll turn it on in February" warning is worth NOTHING in this situation: February comes and goes. March comes and goes. Everybody who read the warning will think: Ok, so I must be fine. A warning of the form: "ECN will go on as soon as this message clears the queues" would've been useful, as thousands (hundreds?) suddenly get nothing anymore.
