 The current specification of Clique allows for multiple competing blocks from producers but does not
 provide any strategies to pick blocks aside from the current "highest total difficulty" rule. This
 EIP proposes a four step choice rule of highest total difficulty, shortest chain, most recently
-in-turn, and lowest hash. This would prevent deadlocks that have occurred in production systems.
