We don't have any control over bitcoind's coin selection: it sometimes ends up creating transactions with a large number of inputs (and thus a high fee), which we want to avoid. We run multiple coin selection attempts in parallel and use the best result to mitigate that.
We should monitor how this behaves in practice and revert that change if it doesn't prove to be useful.
We should also push for more configuration options on the bitcoind side to get funding results that better match our transaction patterns.
