You're not missing anything, that's true, we will try and steal more
RMIDs. We could perhaps put a limit on how many RMIDs we're willing to
steal, but I think it should definitely be > 1 because RMIDs can
stabilize out of order.

It's worth pointing out that we only steal more RMIDs if the ones on the
limbo list have been queued for the "minimum queue time" - it really is
a last resort.
