Don't SPV clients announce their intentions by the act of uploading a

Certainly the protocol could be designed in a way that provides
finer-grained access controls and connection limits, which would make
the situation more clear.

What I'd actually like to see is for network users to pay for the node
resources that they consume, so that anyone who wants to place
increased load on the network would compensate node operators for the
burden:

Absent that kind of comprehensive solution, problems like this will
continue to recur.
