Howdy all! I personally think that any future increases in least known good should be dealt with the following way.
People like me are still running original .5.0.0--7(?) code. As a result, increase max HTL in the most current builds. Slowly but surely increase the last known in each successive 0.x.y release (never in a 0.x.y.z release unless absolutely needed). As a result, you would gain the same result but with much less of an impact. Just gauge how long ARK's/etc have been in the code (which build #) and subtract a few builds from that and than force the build to that number. (what build is 0.5.0.5--7 running on anyways?)
