(x)inetd would shut a port under heavy net-connection load for a short
period, but systemd seems to shut it permanently under those conditions.
For systemd to replace inetd-type socket activation, it needs to have a
timeout on the disable.

This probably isn't a high priority though, because very few things
support inetd-type modes anymore.
