Do you expect the abstract distances of two different types to be
close enough in real life (like you showed in your example with
CXL - 5000 and PMEM - 5100) that they will get assigned into same tier
most times?

Are you foreseeing that abstract distance that get mapped by sources
like HMAT would run into this issue?
