Replying to [comment:17 nickm]:
> I'm fine renaming circuit_build_times_get_bw_scale to
network_balancing_weights_get_scale_parameter or whatever if you like; if
you make a patch, I will apply it ... but '''only if''' it includes
Doxygen documentation for that function. I think one reason that function
might be misnamed is that nobody ever actually explained what it was
supposed to do.
It doesn't do anything in 0.2.4.x. In 0.2.3.x and earlier, it allows
dirauths to scale relays' selection probabilities down to less than 1 so
that clients with the old broken side-channel-bugged relay-selection
routine won't choose them.
