(working my way through further)

Interesting observation, I hadn’t realized this before: any suffix of a chunk’s linearization (which leaves at least one transaction off) must have higher feerate than the chunk itself. If it didn’t, the chunk without the suffix would have higher feerate and thus be the chunk instead.
