I think it would be harder to guarantee that the messages get deliver on
time (in the call init window) with SimplePush even when the system is
on high load.

Keeping a bunch of websockets is mostly a cost concern rather than a
hard technical problem to solve.

On a first look, I like the solution as well - I don't know what's the
detailed planned agenda,  but I'll make sure more folks at Services get
a chance to give some feedback on that architecture
this week, before we rush into coding it :D
