I wouldn't really say it's obsolete, because if you want to build a solid server experience, it's safer to follow XEP-0190 than RFC-6120. I also wouldn't call it superseded, it may just be perceived as superseded by some. Yes, I originally co-wrote that paragraph on closing idle streams in RFC-6120 but you managed to water it down later, so now it can be either implemented right or wrong depending on your preferences or patience. >From what I read in the RFC, packets er stanzas can still get lost on idle streams if bad luck er bad timing happens. It happens. Oh, and thanks for asking. By the way, last year we made some benchmarks.. The PSYC protocol syntax is on average some dozen times more efficient than XMPP in both processing speed and bandwidth. Maybe we should look into that idea of doing XMPP-S2S over PSYC again...
