- Fully reentrant (FIXME: issues with libfreeradius-radius?)
- User chooses allocation regime
+Note that as of 0.0.2.dev libradsec suffers from way too much focus on
+the behaviour of a blocking client and is totally useless as a server.
+Not only does it lack most of the functions needed for writing a
+server but it also contains at least one architectural mishap which
+kills the server idea. A connection timeout (TCP) or a retransmit
+timeout (UDP) will result in the event loop being broken. The same is
+thing will happen if there's an error on a TCP connection, f.ex. a
+failing certificate validation (TLS).
