Comment(by atagar):

 > Hm. The 'params' change doesn't match what we generate today: we always
 generate that space. Removing it would require a new consensus method,
 which probably isn't worth it.

 Gotcha. I was trying to make the params like the bandwidth-weights, but
 you're right. This would break backward compatibility when Parameters is
 excluded. Feel free to exclude that tweak.

 > A weight should not ever be allowed to be negative. What would that
 mean?

 I don't know, but the spec presently doesn't disallow that. If we want to
 only allow positive values then we should say so.
