Comment:
Lowering priority: while I think there will be lots of research interest
in different types of padding machines, I don't think the actual machine
updates will require update via consensus until we start producing many
different types of machines for different quantities of spare consensus
overhead, which is a long way off.
I think #29203 plus #29098 plus the existing global consensus padding rate
limits are way more immediately useful for reacting to different amounts
of network load than swapping machines in and out entirely on the fly, at
least until we learn more.
