+	 * As a fallback, the checks in _append_oa_reports() to skip
+	 * invalid OA reports do also seem to work to discard reports
+	 * generated before this config has completed - albeit not

+	 *
+	 * Unfortunately this is essentially a magic number, since we
+	 * don't currently know of a reliable mechanism for predicting
+	 * how long the MUX config will take to apply and besides
+	 * seeing invalid reports we don't know of a reliable way to
+	 * explicitly check that the MUX config has landed.
+	 *
+	 * It's even possible we've miss characterized the underlying
+	 * problem - it just seems like the simplest explanation why
+	 * a delay at this location would mitigate any invalid reports.
