I don't feel that "we'll never do auto-degrade" is determinative;
several hackers were for auto-degrade, and they have a good use-case
argument. However, we do have consensus that we need more scaffolding
than this patch supplies in order to make auto-degrade *safe*.

I encourage the submitter to resumbit and improved version of this patch
(one with more monitorability) for 9.5 CF1. That'll give us a whole
dev cycle to argue about it.
