+	// 2. the 2nd attempt (75,000 sats) is sent via Alice->Carol->Eve->Bob,
+	//    which shouldn't happen because the capacity in Carol->Eve is
+	//    depleted. However, since the HTLCs are sent in parallel, the 2nd
+	//    attempt can be sent before the capacity is updated in the graph.

+	// 4. In addition, with recent fee buffer addition, the attempts will
+	//    fail even earlier without being further split.

+	// To avoid this case, we now increase the channel capacity of the
+	// route Carol->Eve->Bob such that even the above case happened, we can
+	// still send the HTLCs.

+	// TODO(yy): we should properly fix this in the router. Atm we only
