 participants and protocol version? If these are important things to put in
 the consensus, we should also expose them to users of control port.

 We can and we should at some point. Your point below is why I want dead
 simple at first. The main use case for this will be for third part app. to
 use the SR and get it easily instead of grep parsing the consensus.

 I can see something like this as future addition. Actually, it would be
 _trivial_ to add this:

 {{{
 GETINFO sr/current/num-reveals
 250-sr/current/num-reveals=8
 250 OK
 }}}

 code/design/review work for 0.3.0.

 My counter argument here is that SR went in 029 and 030 is the version you
 can get access to it through the control port. Putting that in 031 means
 another 8 months... This isn't a big change to the spec and code, I think
 we can pull it off? Feature freeze for 030 is in 21 days so we still have
 time in theory. :)
