Since v3.4.0 Lighthouse will opportunistically re-org late blocks when proposing.
When Lighthouse is about to propose a new block, it quickly checks whether the block from the previous slot landed so late that hardly anyone attested to it.
If that late block looks weak enough, Lighthouse may decide to “re-org” it away: instead of building on it, Lighthouse builds its new block on the grand-parent block, turning the late block into an orphan.
This feature is intended to disincentivise late blocks and improve network health. Proposing a
re-orging block is also more profitable for the proposer because it increases the number of
attestations and transactions that can be included.
