I thought the end conclusion of that thread was to not do anything,
on the grounds that
(1) having new scans sometimes fail to join an existing syncscan
herd would be a bad thing because of the resulting performance
uncertainty;
(2) partially masking the order-nondeterminism created by syncscans
would be a bad thing because it would make it more likely for people
to not notice the issue during testing.
