Something that didn't seem to get attention in this version was buried
deep in the commentary of my high-level review [1]:

I still think it would be nice to keep the two algorithms for at least
a little while instead of completely removing the old one. Let's gather
some more evidence and get more reps in with the new algorithm before
making it the new default. I could imagine a scenario where someone
really wants to spend the extra time to make sure none of the objects
reachable from the UNINTERESTING commits are included in the output of
this diff.
