Accurate is not black or white. The current heuristic requires certain level of 
accuracy to be effective. If you make the heuristics more aggressive (like what 
this patch is doing), you're raising the requirement of what can be considered 
accurate, and profile not meeting that new requirement could see regression 
with new heuristic. 

Whether a function is cold or not also depends on what is the calling context 
and how inlining is done. All that makes function level annotation inherently 
inaccurate when done before inlining. Not that we shouldn't try it, but it's 
not as clear cut as it appears to be, and we need to be careful.
