CreditProposal

@@ -56 +56 @@
  * Suppose a project uses a resource that other projects use little or none of (e.g. QCN uses the accelerometer found in some laptops; Depspid uses network).  How much credit should the project be allowed to grant?  Under the current proposal, they would be allowed to grant something like 100/(N+1) per host/day, where N is the average number of other attached projects.
  * Also in the above case, the resource share for QCN doesn't affect its utility (since it doesn't use any bottleneck resources), and yet users' resource share settings will affect how much credit can be granted by QCN and other projects attached to hosts running QCN.  This doesn't seem right.
+ * Suppose that a large number of projects arise that don't use CPU or other bottleneck resources.  If they're allowed to grant as much credit as CPU-intensive projects, then credit becomes meaningless.
  * This proposal doesn't say anything about the last 3 types of utility.
