Well, if a relay or bridge is currently not running, it doesn't have any
flags assigned at the time. But the list of flags that Onionoo provides
is what the relay or bridge had assigned when it was last running.
Removing one flag from that list is wrong. We could remove all flags, but
that would also remove potentially useful information.
As would removing the `"Running"` flag. For example, there can be bridges
that are listed in the network status without the `"Running"` flag,
because the bridge authority cannot successfully reach it. So, knowing
whether it had the `"Running"` flag when it was last around is
information.
