The protocol parameter
eMax
determines how far out in advance a stake pool can stage a retirement.Previously
current epoch + eMax
was the first unallowed epoch. And since a stake pool must in a future epoch, this means that ifeMax = 1
then retirement is not possible. The parametereMax
should really be set to something much higher than1
, but makingcurrent epoch + eMax
the last allowed epoch is perhaps more intuitive.closes IntersectMBO/cardano-node#1121
