The problem is that in the current situation, it gets worse with more authorities, not better. Our voting mechanism needs an overhaul :/
Indeed.
The other problem is that we simply have too many clients out there. And we've taught them all to be eager to keep updated, so they're harder to partition. But it's really a volume thing at this point. We need a more scalable way of keeping clients informed about network topology. In our copious free time, while also doing everything else that needs doing. :/
Anyway, crisis averted, this time.
