+# NOTE: The shared infra that we use can sometimes be sluggish and we get false failures.
+# There are cases when the rate will be under 20 as well as over 100. Normally it is over
+# 50, but in order to stabilize our tests and avoid false failures this rate has been set
+# low. The test will still fail if there are failed registrations during the "flapping".
+# Some discussion of this can be found in the comments of
