Isn't that value used for making the decision (in userspace) on
whether a signal is good enough to associate?  On an open mesh this
decision takes place in the kernel.  It made more sense to us to reuse
that parameter for mesh than to introduce a new one.  Would you rather
see a separate mesh parameter for this?

Cheers,

Javier
