I'm not pretty sure about how it works internally. But if 0.0 works fine to you, that's good.

There was only one rebalance and then I could perform the rest of the documented removal steps immediately with no further recovery. I reweighted to 0.0. Shinobu, can you explain why you have found 0.2 is better than 0.0? What happens when you use 0.2 and what happens when you use 0.0 ?
