Sounds like an older issue that I tried to address two years ago: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11427
As you can see, the result hasn't been as expected and we got some unintended side effects based on the patch. I'm not sure I'd be willing to give this another try, considering the behaviour we like to fix in the first place is rather harmless and the read repairs shouldn't happen at all to any users who regularly run repairs within gc_grace. What I'd suggest is to think more into the direction of a post-full-repair-world and to fully embrace incremental repairs, as fixed by Blake in 4.0. In that case, we should stop doing read repairs at all for repaired data, as described in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13912. RRs are certainly useful, but can be very risky if not very very carefully implemented. So I'm wondering if we shouldn't disable RRs for everything but unrepaired data. I'd btw also be interested to hear any opinions on this in context of transient replicas.
