I think that's a fair point, and I'm in the same boat as you are to a large extent. I have an idea of what these settings do and why you might want to set them, but since there is no real-world deployment of this series, I don't have any solid guidelines on when you should/shouldn't set these settings.

My hope is that there are enough knobs to tweak here that anyone deploying this feature could find a configuration that works for them.

But I'll try and add some general guidance on why you would want to change certain settings, etc.

Thanks, Taylor
