Comment(by andrea):

 Replying to [comment:6 nickm]:
 > Let's see-- the behavior is "Tell me the measured bw. If we don't have a
 measured bandwidth for this, tell me 0 unless we don't have enough meaured
 bandwidth overall."  I don't see a great way to name a function after that
 behavior, so instead perhaps we should name it after its application.  The
 application is really "Tell me the bandwidth that I should act on when
 deciding things about this router."  Maybe
 dirserv_get_{??}_bandwidth_for_router, where ?? is something like
 "operational" or "actionable"?  I wonder if there's a less buzzwordy word
 we could use for that.

 Hmmm - yeah, those are pretty buzzwordy.  How about
 dirserv_get_bandwidth_for_router_flags()?  (It wouldn't fit anymore if
 there were a future extension to use it for the thresholds too, though).
