Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:54 arlolra]:
 > I've added two updated patches which I guess are now the things to
 review and test here.  They supersede anything I posted above that isn't
 already merged.

 Thank you so much.

 I've started some proxy-go instances with the patches. The one on my
 desktop has seen a few opens and closes so far, and is still running. I'll
 make more graphs of restarts tomorrow, but so far it's looking good, one
 hour without any abnormal restarts.

 attachment:0001-Add-synchronization-to-manipulating-vectors.patch looks
 ok.

 About attachment:0001-Add-synchronization-around-destroying-
 dataChannels-a.patch:
  * `WebRTCPeer` uses the names `lock` and `once`, but `webRTCConn` uses
 the names `lk` and `do`. Is there a reason for the difference. I think I
 prefer the `lock` and `once` names.
  * I tried to work out what exact members the synchonization covers. I
 think it is:
    * `WebRTCPeer.lock` covers `transport` (a DataChannel).
    * `WebRTCPeer.once` covers `pc` (only destroying / setting to `nil`).
    * `webRTCConn.lk` covers `dc` (a DataChannel).
    * `webRTCConn.do` covers `pc` (only destroying).
   Do I have it right? I would like there to be comments by each of the
 declarations, stating what their responsibilities are.
  * Small typo: "since we'll otherwise we'll end up".
