Yeah, I'm not sure that kernel.org is the right way to go here... plus, I'm pretty sure they'll not be happy.
But, I do wonder if there is some other way to do the same thing. Perhaps we could setup some kind of tarpit like server that sends out a file very slowly... like .1K / sec (~1 packet every 10 secs). Just enough to keep their connection alive, but slow enough to not use too much bandwidth.
But, I'm not sure if this would be any better than just sending a 404 quickly.
