Well I - the author of this post, employed by MS - did just work quite a while on improving connection scalability. And, as I outlined in the precursor blog post, improving snapshot scalability practically is a prerequisite of changing the connection model to handle significantly larger numbers of connections...

Trying to fix things like this in one fell swoop instead of working incrementally tends to not work in my experience. It's much more likely to succeed if a large project can be chopped up into individually beneficial steps.
