I think you're [Benedict] overselling how scary it is to stop reading new requests until we can free up some memory from MS. We're not dropping connections. We're just imposing some flow control. Which is something that already happens at different levels anyway. was (Author: jbellis): Hinting is better than leaving things in an unknown state but it's not something we should opt users into if we have a better option, since it basically turns the write into CL.ANY.
