Following discussion on IRC: > 1) Why is this configuration option not default upstream?
For their stable release policy. This doesn't apply to a new Ubuntu release. > 2) Debian doesn't carry this flag. It will. > 3) Any security implications that I've not thought of? Marc has acked the configuration switch, but not enabling rate limiting in the default config, which I think is fine and is what is being asked for here. > 4) We're past feature freeze for Trusty. LaMont says that we've carried a patch for this feature before, so if support is gone, this is actually a regression. Thus I think it's a bugfix, not a feature, and so the freeze doesn't apply. LaMont said he'd look at this on Sunday for us (thanks!).
