	 * that happen to be lying around. Those with seriously
	 * defective clocks are immediately booted off the island. Then,
	 * the falsetickers are culled and put to sea. The truechimers
	 * remaining are subject to repeated rounds where the most
	 * unpopular at each round is kicked off. When the population
	 * has dwindled to sys_minclock, the survivors split a million
	 * bucks and collectively crank the chimes.

	 * Now, vote outlyers off the island by select jitter weighted

	 * than sys_minclock survivors and the select jitter of the peer
	 * with the worst metric is greater than the minimum peer
	 * jitter. Stop if we are about to discard a TRUE or PREFER 
	 * peer, who of course have the immunity idol.

	 * as long as it doesn't get too old or too ugly.
