Not true. The dispersion does increase, but the server is valid until the dispersion exceeds the select threshold, usually in four or five more missed messages.
That's why I said the quality measures are invalidated, rather than the server is invalidated. I probably should have said "effectively". I guess that anti-clock hopping may reduce the effect.
I was really trying to correct my initial reading, that the only reachability check was reachability == 0. There is also a reachability & 7 == 0 check, earlier in the code, which results in a sample with the maximum possible dispersion value being loaded.
I can't tell, quickly, what gets loaded when there are only one or two missed polls. I'd always assumed that the filter slots tracked the rachability ones, but maybe not.
