The primary reason I am fine with wider weight range because there are many situations where we just don't get effective 10 times service differentiation for various reasons like workload don't seem to be active at the service tree at the same time or if we decide to swith off idling on faster storage etc.
So because of this leaky nature of service differentiation, it might help to have a wider range of allowed weights.
Thanks Vivek
