			// subset or ever likely to become saturated. Once saturated, the score of these whales

			// issuance of a sane chain will fit in u128, it is safe to also assume that the

			// on the `P` generic argument. With a PerBill and a 12 decimal token the maximum value
			// that `candidate.approval_stake` can have is:
			// (2 ** 128 - 1) / 10**9 / 10**12  = 340,282,366,920,938,463

			// (2 ** 128 - 1) / 10**9 / 10**12 / 200000 = 1,701,411,834,604
			//
			// It is worth noting that these value would be _very_ different if one were to use
			// `PerQuintill` as `P`. For now, we prefer the performance of using `Rational128` here.
			// For the future, a properly benchmarked pull request can prove that using
