Replying to [ticket:21425 nickm]:
> to find out if our list of entry points is highly limited
At least originally, the definition of constrained was more like 'fixed'.
The question is whether the entry list is growable using the default
algorithm of "go to the consensus and pick a new one". So it isn't about
whether it's limited to a few or a lot, it's about whether it's growable.
(I haven't looked at the code changes lately to see how much we've gotten
away from that definition, but I'd posit that wherever we have, it's a
potential bug. :)
