+ * To prevent the CIL from overflowing upper commit size bounds, we introduce a

+ * push thresholds.
+ *
+ * Note: this is not a -hard- limit as blocking is applied after the transaction
+ * is inserted into the CIL and the push has been triggered. It is largely a
+ * throttling mechanism that allows the CIL push to be scheduled and run. A hard
+ * limit will be difficult to implement without introducing global serialisation
+ * in the CIL commit fast path, and it's not at all clear that we actually need
+ * such hard limits given the ~7 years we've run without a hard limit before
