This changelog is a bit unsatisfying.  It basically says: the current
code isn't working, throw some more code at the problem.

I'd love to see some more information about *why* the current code
doesn't work.  Is it purely a bug or was it mis-designed?

I actually wrote it intending for it to handle cases like you describe
while not leaving lots of nodes without demotion targets.
