The primary reason I am fine with wider weight range because there are
many situations where we just don't get effective 10 times service
differentiation for various reasons like workload don't seem to be
active at the service tree at the same time or if we decide to swith
off idling on faster storage etc.

So because of this leaky nature of service differentiation, it might help to
have a wider range of allowed weights.

Thanks
Vivek
