Not completely sure about the message stashing. Why not drop the messages?
That would be safer (less to clean up, no overflow).
Is this mainly to not loose the messages from the "self gateway"? Because
for all remote messages, it should be not necessary, it should simply appear as
if the actor/endpoint started a few milliseconds later.
It may in the common case not be much of an issue, as the period during
which messages are stashed is small, but I think it is simply not necessary.
