+ * Has a probability of when placing new blocks, placing them as MRU.
+ *
+ * Although both LRU and LIP can be seen as specific cases of BIP
+ * where the bimodal throtle parameter are 1 and 0, respectively, we
+ * decide not to inherit from it, and do the other way around (inherit
+ * from LRU) for efficiency reasons.
