Description
This issue has been migrated from [#4726](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4726).

And not even for your own events :(
I ran a script to peacefully decommission a homeserver by having it leave all rooms, and shortly after the events went out I was being hammered with GET /event requests for the rooms I just left. Surely I shouldn't be receiving these requests anymore given there's no guarantee that the homeserver even knows about the room anymore?
