No doubt. As I said, I'm not sure there's a single right answer.
I think it'd be prudent to consider such a socket change early in
the release cycle, not late. If you can fix the testsuite with
just the --once change (or something else), then I am suggesting
we consider that (more pressing issue) independently of
fixing this particular race.

Sounds like a plan.
