Changes (by teor):

 * keywords:   => tor-dirauth, test-network
 * milestone:   => Tor: unspecified


Comment:

 I think Tor should automatically set the flag if it is the directory
 authority that is the only relay in:
 * the set of preconfigured authorities, or
 * the set of authorities in the consensus

 This will never happen in the public network, because there are 9
 preconfigured authorities, and a majority for the consensus is 5.

 As a workaround, please use two authorities until this issue is fixed. If
 we don't plan on fixing this soon, perhaps we should document the minimum
 supported number of authorities, and this workaround.
