I considered as well, but I figured dropping to the lowest MTU that worked
for all the components would be less disruptive than moving to the higher
MTU and kicking out the failed components. I'm flexible on this; it seems
to be a fairly rare corner-case, in which all options suck, so I'm happy
to defer to others as to which option sucks least. :-)
