Why??? To me, a reliable byte stream as provided by tcp seems like a
building block fitting ssh needs pretty well.

If you want to do that, and support filetransfers or anything else with
the potential to use significant bandwidth, and get it blessed by ietf,
you'd have to implement your own congestion control.

Not that I have anything against congestion control work in general. I
have even given in to the temptation and designed my own, during my phd
studies. See https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/network-book/. But I
don't think this is the right place for congestion control work.
