That sounds like it might just postpone the inevitable - if you set the
wrong voltage first it might decide to drop down some voltage that
wasn't expected.  There's a bit of a bootstrapping issue.  I think it
would be safer to just say that anything that is within spec won't get
changed any time we balance, we'd only change things if needed to bring
them back into spec.
