Yes, it does.

The problem is in server which accepts incoming connections:
BaseSelectorEventLoop._accept_conncetion(). Extract of the code:
---
conn, addr = sock.accept()
(...)
protocol = protocol_factory()
if sslcontext:
self._make_ssl_transport(
conn, protocol, sslcontext,
server_side=True, extra={'peername': addr}, server=server)
else:
self._make_socket_transport(
conn, protocol , extra={'peername': addr},
server=server)
# It's now up to the protocol to handle the connection.
---
If the transport fails before calling connection_made() (ex: SSL
handshake failure): the transport and the protocol are destroyed, no
message is logged, the server is not aware of the connection failure.
I would like to notify the server through the protocol (call
connection_failed) that an incoming connection failed. Random use
case: blacklist temporary the client IP.
