Right.

QUIC does prohibit this.  This looks like another case of a client that sent an 
Initial and went away: a situation that servers have to deal with.  In any 
case, the server cannot retransmit indefinitely because it is bound by the 
anti-amplification limit.  I believe that QUIC works if the server doesn't arm 
a timer at this point, if it comes to that.
