Comment(by zooko):

 Wouldn't metacrob getting an error because there aren't enough servers to
 honor their preference be exactly what we want?

 I think that's what metacrob is asking for.

 What do you think?

 I suppose we should probably set {{{k=3, m=10, servers_of_happiness=7}}}
 as the default.
