Both the open-source jabber.org and the commercial jabber.com implementations send a stream:error before replacing the current session with a new one. Exodus is an example of a client which does not reconnect in this case.

Exactly but the thing is that they dont get a stream error, at the moment the server ends the session with a </stream:stream> and drops the socket, and because that sequence of events means the server is terminating the connection, which i think will only happen at the moment because of another session connecting, that can be used for clients to determine wether they should try auto-reconnecting, because IMO clients should only be auto-reconnecting in the case of a network problem terminating their connection and in that case they would not have received the </stream:stream> from the server so that is why you can use that to determine wether to auto-reconnect.

IMHO, this is a bug in those clients. If the server says it is disconnecting you (via a stream:error), you should not immediately reconnect.

Yea sure I wasnt arguing against the "option", but it shouldnt be standard behaviour and must be documented that it can cause issues/problems, so the admin can make an informed choice of which behaviour they want.
Then again, not using this patch has it's own problems when two clients with auto-reconnect start to "fight" over the same connection. So this patch is definatly usefull for those who want to avoid this type of behaviour.
