Coverage bin distribution should be as even as possible

In Section 18.5.2

CHANGE

If the number of automatic bins is smaller than the number of possible values (N < 2^M ), then the 2^M values

are uniformly distributed in the N bins. If the number of values, 2 ^M, is not divisible by N, then the last bin

will include the additional (up to N – 1) remaining items. For example, if M is 3 and N is 3, then the eight possible values are distributed as follows: <0:1>, <2:3>, <4,5,6,7>.

TO

If the number of automatic bins is smaller than the number of possible values (N < 2^M ), then the 2^M values

are shall be uniformly distributed in the N bins. If the number of values, 2^M, is not divisible by N, then the last (2^M modulo N) bins shall include an additional value then the last bin will include the additional (up to N – 1) remaining items. For example, if M is 3 and N is 3, then the eight possible values are distributed as follows: <0:1>, <2:4>, <5:7> <2:3>, <4,5,6,7>.
