Hello,
we recently stumbled upon the issue STORM-404 in storm 0.9.3.
I was just curious if some more work was planned to fix that guy?
Or just, could the work already done for the issue 404 be summed up in some
way?
Thanks a lot for your help :-)

> 2. Should we block the message sending until the connection is resumed?
> 3. Should we config a buffer limit, try to buffer the message first, if the

> 4. Should we neither block, nor buffer too much, but choose to drop the
