	// The provisioner is the subsystem best suited to choosing which specific

	// block. To engage this functionality, a
	// `ProvisionerMessage::RequestInherentData` is sent; the response is a set of
	// non-conflicting candidates and the appropriate bitfields. Non-conflicting
	// means that there are never two distinct parachain candidates included for
	// the same parachain and that new parachain candidates cannot be included
	// until the previous one either gets declared available or expired.
	//
	// The main complication here is going to be around handling
	// occupied-core-assumptions. We might have candidates that are only
	// includable when some bitfields are included. And we might have candidates
	// that are not includable when certain bitfields are included.
	//
	// When we're choosing bitfields to include, the rule should be simple:
	// maximize availability. So basically, include all bitfields. And then
	// choose a coherent set of candidates along with that.
