Comment:

 Nick suggested to also look at bandwidth values in the votes.  The two
 relays with consensus weight 0 in the most recent consensus have no
 measured bandwidths in votes.  The directory authorities are using the
 self-reported bandwidth of 0.  Maybe it's okay to leave their consensus
 weight at 0 if they're not measured and they say about themselves that
 they don't have any bandwidth to contribute.  Nick adds that there's a
 pending patch that Mike is going to revise to make authorities behave
 differently about not-yet-measured relays.
