 Instead, we will now introduce the following logic on `EndBlock`:
 
 * Slash packets will always be sent to the provider once they're at the head of the queue. 
-  However, once sent, the consumer will not send any trailing `VSCMaturedPackets` from the queue until the provider responds with an ack that the `SlashPacket` has been handled (ie. validator was jailed). 
-  That is, `SlashPackets` block the sending of trailing `VSCMaturedPackets` in the consumer queue.
-* If two `SlashPackets` are at the head of the queue, the consumer will send the first `SlashPacket`, and then wait for a success ack from the provider before sending the second `SlashPacket`.

   This seems like it'd simplify implementation.

 To prevent the provider from having to keep track of what `SlashPackets` have been rejected, the consumer will have to retry the sending of `SlashPackets` over some period of time. 
 This can be achieved with an on-chain consumer param, i.e., `RetryDelayPeriod`. 
 To reduce the amount of redundant re-sends, we recommend setting `RetryDelayPeriod ~ SlashMeterReplenishmentPeriod`, i.e., waiting for the provider slash meter to be replenished before resending the rejected `SlashPacket`.
 
-Note to prevent weird edge case behavior, a retry would not be attempted until either a success ack or failure ack has been recv from the provider.
+Note to prevent weird edge case behavior, a retry would not be attempted until either a success or failure acknowledgement has been received from the provider.
 
 With the behavior described, we maintain very similar behavior to the previous throttling mechanism regarding the timing that `SlashPackets` and `VSCMaturedPackets` are handled on the provider. 
 Obviously the queueing and blocking logic is moved, and the two chains would have to send more messages between one another (only in the case the throttling mechanism is triggered).

 The main change needed for the provider is the removal of queuing logic for `SlashPackets` and `VSCMaturedPackets` upon being received.
