Expire process was not depending completely on connected hook even
before this commit. For example, every TCP session closing forces some
data export. So even with export hook disconnected some data still will
be lost and not just lost, but it was leading to memory leak which I
have fixed with other commit.
So if you insist that it was a feature then sorry. Then it should be
documented and fixed to work correctly. But as soon as nobody notice
that memory leak, probably nobody uses this feature actively.
