Not necessarily. Laptops don't kill existing WiFi connections when RJ45
is plugged into them. Perhaps mobile phones can also use 3G for some
connections and when WiFi shows up starts using them for the new
connections. Why should it kill any existing connections in those
situations?

As for IP changing in 3G-only traffic.. Is it that much different from
the above? I wouldn't ever want existing connections to be killed.

I think including only username in the hash works nicely for just about
everyone. I now committed the code:
