I'd like to propose we remove the t3c (nee ORT) --dispersion and
--login-dispersion flags.

These were added to deal with Traffic Ops not being able to handle the load
of all the caches in a large CDN requesting at once. Which is still true,
but now that t3c is very fast (the bottleneck now is TO requests, which
even on a very large CDN with full DeliveryServiceServers is <30s), I'm not
seeing an advantage over `sleep "$((RANDOM % (60 * 15)))" && t3c ...`

Since you can't run multiple instances, this also required a great deal of
code around "revalidate-while-sleeping" which could also be removed,
reducing dev costs and potential bugs.

Is anyone else using the ORT/t3c --dispersion or --login-dispersion flags?

Does anyone object to removing them?

Thanks,
