> I've seen some users, always on cloud platforms, say that they have problems
> with hosts flapping in the FD. GC is not the cause. I know of at least one
> production deployment where they are already hacking phi to 10 to get around
> the flapping problems.
> This is a dangerous thing to expose, however, since giving meaning to the
> difference of 8 and 10 here is hard to quantify to someone unfamiliar with
> the inner workings. Perhaps we can allow setting it in the config, but not
> specify a default and leave it commented out with a big fat warning.
