If someone manages to draw the inference from "There but for the grace
of god go I" to "serve when stale if backends are unhealthy or sessions
are busy waiting", they should win some kind of prize.

Per's point being, I think, that however appropriate the name sounds
once you've understood it, it's not possible to understand it in the
first place without consulting the docs.

On the other hand, it's not at all clear that renaming "grace" to
something like "serve_when_stale_if_ ..." and so forth makes Varnish any
easier.


Best,
Geoff
