It's not at all clear to me that this was the wrong engineering choice on
their part. If they didn't GC dead connections after some sort of timeout
(and would it make any significant different whether it was 5 minutes, or 1
hour)
Oh yes, it would make a BIG difference. 5 minutes idle in a ssh session is
probably more common by a factor of 100 or so than 1 hour idle. Not that
killing 1 hour idle connections is all that excusable, but at least it's a
*far* rarer problem.
