Right, so the rechecking could possibly be a separate thread, sending an
occasional liveness packet on the failed ring and trigger the RRP
recovery after it has heard from other nodes on it?

Some smarts would be needed of course to not constantly retrigger
partially active rings (which would fail again immediately).

Does "expensive" mean that it'll actually slow down the healthy
ring(s)?
