If there is to be disruptive change, it will be a new protocol that solves global-scale problems the old one did not. The automobile did not depend on the horse. An incrementally better TCP implementation will not disrupt TCP.
Unfortunately a large portion of protocol development seems to be occurring at the application layer even if it doesn't belong there, which is how we ended up with HTTP/2 and WebSockets.
