These weird decisions that go against the norm are exactly why I hate writing Go. There are hidden footguns everywhere and the only way to prevent them is to role play as a Google dev backend dev in a hurry.

It doesn't explain that. Why would this cause you to need to restart your applications? At most it will just decrease performance of that transfer.
