I agree, and I think Larry pointed this out earlier.

OTOH, I would caution about getting too involved in this as both ends
of the spectrum of connection state preservation are reasonable and used
in practice:

- VM live migration preserves TCP connections and the like.
- IP address takeover on hardware failure doesn't preserve
        anything whose state was solely on the hardware that's now a
        smoking pile of parts.
