 > So I'm not sure this is a big problem.
 You know it better than me. I created this ticket only because you

 it.
 > Authorities are only chosen as middle nodes, because they don't have any
 other relevant flags.
 What forbids DA to become guard? As I know, usual fast relay with big
 uptime doesn't have an option to continue to be just a middleman, i.e., to
 not get guard flag.
 > Only one of the 10 (dizum) has the Fast flag. So the others will be
 ignored by most clients.
 Good point. As I remember, nodes without Fast flag are not used for data
 transfer. Do you mean there can be some old clients which behaves
 differently?
