Is that by design and required or do we just never clean up any listeners when they aren't needed anymore?

Especially not in this case. I'd be curious to know more about the project and if it's e.g. unusally large.
(I've seen this happen when the ws server runs for a long time and a lot of Garden instances are created due to command requests from the API but I think that was fixed and in any case is a different scenario from this one)
