Grønager, by contrast, described the incident as an "unintended partial Sybil attack" as it affected relatively few and was "carefully tailored" not to cause harm to the core bitcoin network.


That is an odd statement. How could it be "unintended", yet "carefully tailored".

Anyway, it seems like clients can easily prevent problems by blacklisting poorly performing nodes.
