I believe it would be a security risk, people can DOS you on that port, and
if you're not careful enough, shut down your Tomcat environment. (Be careful
enough is choosing somehow a random pattern of more than 128bytes IMO).

I would be strongly against from changing that code before (or after) the
release.
