Comment:

 Replying to [comment:10 karsten]:
 > Quick request for clarification: when you say that IDs will be added to
 the consensus, you mean the microdesc-flavored consensus, whereas the
 unflavored consensus will remain unchanged, right?

 No, they need to be added to both consensuses, otherwise clients that set
 `UseMicrodescriptors 0` won't work (or they won't work as well).
 Ed25519 ids are only in the votes (and descriptors and microdescriptiors)
 right now:

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/dir-spec.txt#n2260

 > Where can I read more about the planned changes to dir-spec?

 When nickm writes a proposal, it will hopefully come with a dir-spec patch
 and some code :-)

 Is there something in particular you are concerned about?
 (If parsers are written to ignore unknown lines in consensuses, they
 should be fine.)
