like the previous LQ-dispute on which henning and i had different opinions, this
here is to a large degree a philosophical || dicatorial decission (you could also 
say a matter of personal taste || personal compromise)

e.g. we could argue - i'm sure ;) - endlessly if either option #1 or #2 is
more fair (less bias)..

my "horror" vision: some nodes configured with option #1 and some with
option #2 within the same network.
