while "abc" without a context might be obtuse,
what "net.inet.tcp.abc" means is clear.
(at least, it's clear to me.  otoh, i can't remember what "rfc3465" is. :-)

unless anyone objects, i'll rename the sysctl as the following
and commit.  it's consistent with net.inet.tcp.sack.

	net.inet.tcp.abc.enable=1
	net.inet.tcp.abc.aggressive=1
