So, based on the rest of the thread and other discussions, what is the current plan for what we're doing with this for unix 1.6.1? While I agree with the "idle dead is broken/evil/stupid (except for the exceptions)" points expressed, I would think that reverting the client-side behavior to something 1.4-ish would be good enough for 1.6.1 without introducing additional complexity or large changes (or 1.4 regressions). I think that this is about as simple as removing the rx_SetServerConnIdleDeadErr call in afs/afs_conn.c, but since this was introduced in that mtu ping commit, I'm not sure if this is required for the mtu stuff. I think the only commits I've seen for this appear to be part of the larger "fix idle dead" effort, but it's entirely possible I missed something. I was assuming we'd do something small and quick for 1.6.1, with the larger fixes going on master and possibly later on 1.6.x.
