That's a 1997 date, btw :)
There were no word about broken browsers in that commit, only about
broken
proxy. ;)

I can't see changing the behavior now, after all these years.
If we want to create a variant that maintains the feasibility of
keepalives, then a big +1 for that, but it should be a new
envvar, not changing the userland experience of an existing one...
And if browser asks explicitly for Keep-Alive, why not to satisfy
it? You
should keep in mind that implicit behaviour is 'Connection: Close'
for 1.0
protocol. I think, new envvar will add unnecessary complexity to
configuration and redundant processing to servers...
And I think changing the behavior of an existing envvar from
how it's been used for ~10years is *sure* to create *more* confusion.
