Thanks.

Is it a reasonable workaround, or are there any nonobvious downsides to 
using reactor.waker.connectionLost(None)  either...

a) immediately after instantiating my reactor, (assuming I don't need a 
waker), or...
b) immediately before or after calling reactor.stop

I guess I'm asking why that hasn't been included in reactor.stop already.
