	//   - Bad blocks will get forgotten after a certain threshold of import

	//     really-really-really tries to feed us a block, we should give it a
	//     new chance, perhaps us being racey instead of the block being legit
	//     bad (this happened in Geth at a point with import vs. pending race).
	//   - Tracking all the blocks built on top of the bad one could be a bit
