Agree. But I'll note that sensible technical reasons do exist. If a system 
is written with short-lived connections in mind (which can be a good idea 
or a bad one), supporting long-lived connections may be more trouble than 
it's worth, in several ways. Both in terms of time and in terms of actions 
done via that connection.
