Comment:

 I have some comments on the PR. Some need fixups; some may just need
 discussion.

 Also I found that Rob Jansen and Marc Juarez actually did make a proper
 classifier out of Kwon's decision tree algorithm, so we might need to be a
 little more careful with considering how such a classifier will behave
 (maybe we can get them to re-run it for us on their beefy Shadow simulator
 box): https://www.robgjansen.com/publications/insidejob-ndss2018.pdf
