If in doubt we should prefer latency over correctness; and especially
when running over a more complicated network setup (or doing TLS) it's 
anyone's guess if the entire stack is still operational by the time
we're trying to send the c2hterm.
Part of the reason why it wasn't implement initially I guess :-)
