Great feature! It would be nice to have an option to abort connections and close their sockets even in cases when transfer(s) were completed successfully, but connections must go away by some reason (i.e. too old, too many etc).
The graceful shutdown may take some time, and during that period connection resources (i.e. socket buffers, SSL contexts etc) will be held until it is done. For resource limited systems, it may be critical to release resources for expired connections as soon as possible and use them for something else (i.e. fresh connections).
