It has evolved this way because of ad-hoc DoS fixes\nover time (btw I'm not saying they were the wrong thing to do, as non \"ad\nhoc\" solutions are significantly more work). But it seems like eventually a\ndifferent approach to handling DoS attacks based on resource prioritisation\nand scheduling will become needed / implemented, and at that point the\noriginal design could be safely brought back to life.\n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150109/dee4f22b/attachment.html\u003e"}
