I wondered why those threads appeared, but DocTor did not report that
the consensus was not signed by a majority.
After 0700 UTC DocTor reported that the fetched consensus was missing
signatures. Well it have been four (missing) in total, but that did
happen before.
Thanks for shining some light into it.
