I didn't know that consoles have an exit handler, this is way nicer than
the miscellaneous triggers we discussed earlier :)

I don't really understand this part. According to the comment if we vote
(let's say) for core2 but not for core1 then:

core1: 0
core2: GENI_DEFAULT_BW

core1 = core2 = max(core1, core2)
  or
core1 = core2 = max(0, GENI_DEFAULT_BW)

hence

core1 = core2 = GENI_DEFAULT_BW

What am I missing, why is it necessary to vote for both/all?
