Sending message with Send({device="PATCH", ...}) currently stops the syncing of a process completely.

[saklani]

Hi, just wanted to discuss possible solutions to this.

The USDA process at some point had a Send({device = "PATCH", ...}) which stops the syncing of the process at that point.
A local hyperbeam instance I ran gives this output.

So, now we are left with two options:

1. Migrate to a new process which is not ideal.
2. Potentially ignoring any type of invalid device at the hyperbeam level.

Just wanted to know if 2 is possible to support since migrating to a new process is not ideal.
