Comment(by arma):

 I haven't read the original thread, but I too am worried that we'll run
 into another situation where we optimize things for Mike's network
 connection and it produces an unending stream of issues from people who
 have different network connections.

 Replying to [comment:11 nickm]:

 Yeah, there's no reason a potential fix like this, especially with its
 high chance of unexpected side effects, should go into a solidly frozen
 branch like 0.2.2.

 Also, I haven't looked at any of this closely, but it appears that the bug
 title talks about log messages, and some of the comments here talk about
 automatically altering client behavior?
