Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:8 nickm]:
 > If we compare node->last_reachable after node->is_running, we should
 pretty much just ignore all the other fields (advertised bw, identity),
 since we'll almost never get a tie on last_reachable.

 I think that would be extra bad, because it would make each dir auth
 inconsistent about which sybils it picks, and worse, each dir auth would
 be differently inconsistent. We want something where the globally emergent
 behavior is consistent.
