I think the correct question to ask is "why not all cases"?

If DROP FORCE sometimes gives victim sessions the impression that the
server crashed, rather than that they were kicked off intentionally,
I think that's totally unacceptable. "Fixing" this by changing the
test to allow it is not the answer, and if we can't find a better
answer, I'm going to vote to revert the feature.
