Comment:

 This looks good! We're getting real close IMO.

 Last thing I can think of: As an extra safety mechanism, I think we should
 use the machine-specific padding limits allowed_padding_count = 20 and
 max_padding_percent = 1 on these two machines. That way we know that even
 if they go haywaire somehow, we have the padding limits to stop meltdown
 (and to log that we're hitting the limit and something is going wrong).
