Of the above, the following four still apply: - [ ] `RTP10d` - presence#leave doesn't check if client is currently ENTERED [MO] Very low priority - [ ] `RSA8c2` -...

BTW, note from a customer on what he did when he wanted the lifetime of a subscription bound to the lifetime of a controller: ``` @ablyChannel = @Ably.channels.get('test') @ablyChannel.subscribe (message)...
