Maybe we should introduce a new flag for the relays that are running the
cutting edge version of Tor?

There's a startup warning for this: it says your relay version is "too new".

And another one for long-time relays. say, if a relay has been in the
consensus, it would get an special flag of some sort…

At some point, we'd like to make long-term relays fallback directory mirrors.

That's not a flag, but it is a special kind of status.

Also, isn't this the kind of thing that tor-roster does?

I think these kinds of features would be better there, rather than cluttering up the consensus.
