Thanks Hillf. I pulled in 1-3 and patch 5 from this. I left patch 4 for
now as the way it's laid out means it needs to check for the max weight.
It's sortof recovered later by checking if selected_nid != this_nid but
it's doing more work than necessary. I'll re-examine this again but
ideally this particular section would be replaced by something smarter.
