I think it's important to remember that the optimal bustage rate for inbound is some value greater than zero and varies depending on the time of day. If inbound is never busted then we're wasting try resources testing patches that have a 0.99 probability of landing safely. OTOH, whenever the bustage rate is high enough it's difficult to get things landed, or the sheriffs' ability to detect regressions is impacted, it's too high. That currently seems to be the case so it seems like a good idea to use a highscore list or something like it to exert pressure to use try more until the situation is resolved.
