Is removing the reference to the unref()
documentation intentional?

Yes although it wasn't an easy decision. The choices were:
- Use wording that isn't straightforward simply so we can include
unref()
by itself and link that to thenet
docs. (This is what the existing text does.) - Use the simple/straightforward wording here but add a possibly-confusing link for
process.stdin.unref()
to thenet
doc description ofunref()
. - Use the simple/straightforward wording here that tells the user what they need to know, and don't bother with a link to
unref()
. At a later date, address the fact that our docs can be non-intuitive. If I findprocess.stdin.unref()
mentioned in code or a tutorial, good luck finding it in the docs. I'm not sure what the solution is, but I think we should solve it. We should not be relying on linking every mention to a surprising place.

LGTM, although I'd also be good with removing this paragraph entirely, since it's not really related to readline per se and instead a general property of TTYs
