Re: [whatwg/fetch] keepalive: Do we need to restrict the number of requests at a time? (#662)

@yutakahirano I don’t think that resolves the interoperability concern. I do not believe a timeout would be sufficient in Chrome, for example - we would and should, as a matter of both security (Browser DoS) and stability (aforementioned reasons) - impose limits on how much we will accept as pending. We may not choose to specify it here, but it will still be web observable, so I don’t think a timeout solution helps address the fundamental interoperability concerns being raised here.

I *do* think a timeout helps somewhat with predictability though, and I think it is a good additional check, and I think helps set some bound on user expectations being violated - and I think those are all good things.
