Comment(by arma):

 We can't put a note at the top of the consensus to say how we derived the
 weights in that consensus. That's because each weight is derived based on
 what sorts of votes there are about that weight.

 So some of the w= lines in a given consensus could be produced by looking
 at the descriptor (the authority doing the vote either isn't doing active
 measurements, or doesn't have enough data yet from its measurements), and
 some could be by active measurements.
