Well I personally find it bloody annoying that my ssh connections to
Truman get frozen all the time (though I suspect it has more to do
with the network between me and the Truman server than with ssh, since
my connections to non-Truman servers don't get stuck).

I suppose an idling dropout is a security feature, but it also shows
the inherent conflict: greater security == greater inconvenience.
