Comment (by daira):

 Here's why I'm opposed to implementing this ticket now: The behaviour of
 spreading out shares between available servers in a round-robin fashion is
 very long-standing. That's the behaviour expected and possibly relied on
 by people who have chosen their encoding parameters with the current
 placement algorithm in mind. #1382 was supposed to make the ''minimal''
 change to the placement algorithm necessary to achieve happiness in cases
 where #778 caused regressions. If we want to do something else, let's
 decide on that after getting feedback from release 1.11.
