This issue does not affect us, and is unlikely to in the future (we don't
have a farm of Exims serving one Exim, nor do we have huge mail volumes from
any one external Exim).

I suppose that higher-volume sites *might* see external Exims synchronize
their geometric retries. Folks with internal farms can turn the option on.
I really don't like changing default behavior unless the need is
overwhelming.

I don't think we care one way or the other on this particular issue.
