A network protocol should not be designed to accommodate for the flaws of some OSes.

If an OS is full of bug and if certain OS installations out of the box cannot
survive longer than few hours exposed to a direct Internet connection, it's not
a failure of the network protocol, but is a failure of the OS.

Let's try not to build an infrastructure in a way to make easier to develop and
distribute bogous OSes
