I think that we need to at least state that.

Our consensus is that endpoints can simply retransmit the entire payload of a lost packet (see #1612, #2082). That means that theoretically, an endpoint can receive an awfully outdated STOP_SENDING frame. However, we do not want endpoints to perpetually remember the final offsets of all the streams it has ever used. Therefore, we need to allow an endpoint to ignore STOP_SENDING when it knows that the peer has already seen either a RESET_STREAM or a FIN for the stream the STOP_SENDING frame designates.
