 > So for testing, I'm going to suggest we might actually be okay trying
 the simplest possible implementation of this proposal: the one that
 doesn't know about all the imbalances that can occur in read/write ratios
 [edge connections; directories; etc], and which doesn't implement
 RelayBandwidth vs GlobalBandwidth.

 If the initial results look promising, *then* let's polish it up.  How
 does that sound?

 Ok, the initial results look promising.

 Is the next step (post sponsorf year2 deadline) to polish up the patch?

 I feel like the patch makes the issue look more complex than it needs to
 be. But the issue looks too complex for me to be sure. ;)
