We do not have oscillation prevention measures in BIRD yet.

I was doing work on proto/babel most recently and what's complicating that
right now is BIRD 3 (thread-next branch) development disincentivising the
BIRD team from applying potentially conflicting changes as both branches
will need to be maintained going forward.

Perhaps it's time for me to start releasing a babel-bird fork while that's
going on so we can carry on development in the meantime? It seems I lost
the motivation to work on it since nothing is getting merged/released which
makes testing by the community significantly less likeley and doing it in a
way the team *might* pick up patches (I discussed this with them privately)
is too much work for me to overcome my activation energy requirements ;)
