		//
		// - Since CloseOldest() closes the upstream socket but does not
		//   clean up all resources associated with the port forward. These
		//   include the goroutine(s) relaying traffic as well as the SSH
		//   channel. Closing the socket will interrupt the goroutines which
		//   will then complete the cleanup. But, since the full cleanup is
		//   asynchronous, there exists a possibility that a client can consume
		//   more than max port forward resources -- just not upstream sockets.
		//
		// - An LRU list entry for this port forward is not added until
		//   after the dial completes, but the port forward is counted
		//   towards max limits. This means many dials in progress will
		//   put established connections in jeopardy.
		//
		// - We're closing the oldest open connection _before_ successfully
		//   dialing the new port forward. This means we are potentially
		//   discarding a good connection to make way for a failed connection.
		//   We cannot simply dial first and still maintain a limit on
		//   resources used, so to address this we'd need to add some
		//   accounting for connections still establishing.
