A combination of the two sounds best to me. Use `notifyFinish` for now,
and file a ticket asking for a public version of `_disconnected`. When
that's done and has been released for long enough, Nevow can switch (if
anyone cares enough to do it - presumably the only reason anyone would
care is that using `notifyFinish` might add a miniscule additional
amount of per-request overhead).
