Comment:

 Discussion with armadev on IRC. Snippet of good questions we must answer:

 {{{
 <+armadev> how many relays would we lose right now if we set this new
 minimums
 <+armadev> and, if we keep the Fast flag away from the new bottom 1/8,
 will there be quite fast relays who still don't get the Fast flag?
 ...
 <+armadev> historically we said a higher number in the man page than we
 actually enforced in the code
 ...
 <+armadev> kicking out relays by quietly changing a number is something we
 should think hard about
 <+armadev> maybe we raise the code minimum some,
 <+armadev> and also warn if it's below 1MB
 <+armadev> saying that in the future it'll be higher
 <+armadev> i could get behind a code-enforced 256KB
 }}}

 Useful notes ^ that I agree with!

 I'm putting this one in needs_revision so we can properly address this.
 Nick mentioned he would be fine to do that 035 post-freeze.
