-Subject: [PATCH] Fix player kick on shutdown
-
-Fix preemptive player kick on a server shutdown.
-If you update minecraft version / upstream and something is changed in this method make sure that a server doesn't disconnect a player preemptively,
-also check if all packets are ignored during the shutdown process.
-See net.minecraft.network.Connection#channelRead0(ChannelHandlerContext, Packet) and net.minecraft.util.thread.BlockableEventLoop#executeIfPossible(Runnable)

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix premature player kicks on shutdown
+
+When the server is stopping, the default execution handler method will throw a
+RejectedExecutionException in order to prevent further execution, this causes
+us to lose the actual kick reason. To mitigate this, we'll use a seperate marked
+class in order to gracefully ignore these.
