Alright, lemme clear up any mis-understanding. What would be ideal is if certain cvars, such as cl_cmdrate, were limited to limited range of settings. That range being 30 (default) up to 100 would be ideal. Going lower than 30 for cl_cmdrate is where we start to have issues.
For a cvar like cl_interpolate, that's something in my opinion that should be locked in at 1.
