The idea of the new socket layer was born for many reasons (the current 
code is not easy to understand/maintain; sockets may only be used from 
one thread; can't prioritize one socket over another). I don't know 
whether it will be stable enough for 1.4.0 (and we don't really have a 
detailed roadmap), but I guess it won't be forgotten. Only it could take 
a while...

Shutdown is not likely to get implemented because the lwIP core (TCP) 
can't do it right now. I think it's a rather seldom used function.
