    The proposal is simply that Gnus should detect a stale connection to
    an NNTP server -- if the server doesn't respond in a timely manner, it
    should drop the connection and open a new one.  

It depends on the precise definition of "stale".  If it would include
a connection made via WiFi when the card has been pulled out, then it
would create a bug.
