Comment (by dgoulet):

 Because #30440 won't be a mature thing in the network for many years to
 come, we can only use the "package_window" proposal once it is.

 So until then, we'll use a token bucket system, add knobs in the consensus
 (like the dos.c subsystem) and go on from there. Not sure how we are going
 to come up with the values but they need to be large enough so it doesn't
 affect legit busy HS.
