[Les:] I agree with Joel's comment. The use of the term "overload" is unfortunate.
But "pending-shutdown" isn’t appealing to me because - at least in most use cases - you aren't actually going to shutdown the link. What you are going to do is make a link the "link of last resort".
This seems a better choice.
