Comment:

 I think this is ok to be closed with "wontfix" (no patch).

 This is really a bwauth issue, and could be fixed there by Sebastian's
 change, or by allowing us to use less than 60% measured for a few days
 while we catch up.

 (Another alternative is to just re-use the old bwauth output.)
