default change is a static default GC, I just think we should mind the 
fact that there is more uncertainty on the larger end of the scale. I’m 
not proposing any changes, just saying that maybe we should be careful 
about stressing the importance of having a static default GC, if we 
don’t know if that is the better strategy on the larger end of the scale 
or not, going forward.
