We *can*, and maybe should, do that in 4.0.

In practice though, if there is a new connection, poll() will wake up and time 
out the old connections anyway. As such, dead connections cannot inflate the 
peak number of connections. It's not an urgent problem.

For risk management reasons, I would rather not do this belongs in 3.0 unless 
there is an actual bug that is fixed (number ??).
