You know it better than me. I created this ticket only because you

it.
> Authorities are only chosen as middle nodes, because they don't have any
other relevant flags.
What forbids DA to become guard? As I know, usual fast relay with big
uptime doesn't have an option to continue to be just a middleman, i.e., to
not get guard flag.
> Only one of the 10 (dizum) has the Fast flag. So the others will be
ignored by most clients.
Good point. As I remember, nodes without Fast flag are not used for data
transfer. Do you mean there can be some old clients which behaves
differently?
