We don't need a VHS vs Betamax competition

Please just adopt the two commands I posted about previously: A redirect command for a poolserver to send miners elsewhere
In the proxy source you can see methods client.reconnect(host) and client.add_peers(list). First one may be used for redirecting miners elsewhere, peer list is more for backup locations, when server crashes unexpectedly.
server restart notification [with timer] so a pool can attempt a graceful restart rather than suddenly dropping connections.
What's the use case for this? If I want to restart the server I can do it without such command as it doesn't require any action from the miner side.
Maybe I can add "wait" option to existing client.reconnect() instead?
