OK, we no longer "collect" request in the keys strvec, but I guess
what receive_client_capability() does still counts as "collecting",
so the "tentatively stale" comment is not wrong after all at the end
(we have tentatively been collecting in two different places and one
of them is dropped here).

Nice.
