Comment(by nickm):

 Replying to [comment:6 arma]:
 > Do we in fact believe that Fast and Guard are the only flags influenced
 by bandwidth?

 Those are the only ones which are based on a threshold of bandwidth.

 HOWEVER, all thresholds, including stability and uptime thresholds that
 influence other flags, are based on the set of nodes described in the new
 paragraph starting with "When computing thresholds based on a percentile
 of nodes."  And nodes which don't have measured bandwidths are not
 considered when computing those thresholds, if there are enough bandwidth
 measurements.
