Probably.  Warner, would you mind doing the honours ?  Something like

  Ppp's ``set autoload'' command is now based on the greatest of 
  inbound and outbound traffic rather than the total of the two.  
  This means that the percentages max out at 100% rather than 200% 
  and are more useful in determining when to bring up/down the next 
  link.
  Translation:  The first and second arguments to ``set autoload'' 
                need to be *roughly* halved.

This applies to -current (Aug 15) & -stable (Aug 19).

Cheers.
