 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 relays/2018-February/014585.html

 The manpage says that relays will use the value in consensus but the
 consensus does not longer include these values.

 This patch removes "You should never need to change this value, since a
 network-wide value is published in the consensus and your relay will use
 that value."

 and is the minimal change, but it would be better to add more information
 that says if tor has some built-in mechanism to avoid that a single client
 uses all bw.
 Also: How does tor tell non-relays from relays apart?
