Otherwise an Overwinter node may find their connections to Sprout nodes dropped suddenly at the activation height, potentially leaving them isolated and susceptible to eclipse attacks. [#eclipse-attack]_ To assist network coalescence before the activation height, we update the eviction process to place a higher priority on evicting Sprout nodes.
