What if they add another MX (remote but faster than the one at 99), so
then give it 50. Did you say ignore >50 or only use <50 ?
Do you know whether you want to use this new one ?

I agree with Phil - if you are fiddling with this stuff, write your own
rules explicitly, don't add something that pretents to be a general
feature, but is just as kludgy.
