But, some similar alternative to killing packets 'to death' could be imagined, I suppose (in the future, of course!). So, e.g. doing the switch automatically after last packet has been dequeued (maybe even with some 'special' function/mode for this). After all even with accuracy lost, it could be less visible for clients than current way?
