// serverEntriesReporter also serves to combine these scans, which would

// while there are open read transactions. For example, bolt write
// transactions which need to  re-map the data file (when the datastore grows)
// will block on open read transactions. In these scenarios, a slow scan will
// still block other operations.
//
// serverEntriesReporter runs beyond the establishment phase, since it's
// important for notices such as AvailableEgressRegions to eventually emit
// even if already established. serverEntriesReporter scans are cancellable,
// so controller shutdown is not blocked by slow scans.
