Comment:

 At the dev meeting I discussed this with Roger, Tim, and others.
 Conclusion was that this consensus capability has never been used and
 they'd prefer not to use it in its present form for a couple reasons...

 * Every application version bump would require engaging at least three
 authority operators, making more work for them.

 * Roger is worried about a proliferation of applications we list in the
 consensus.

 * Tim is concerned about the extra size this would add to the consensus.
 It's not large, but by residing in every consensus download is something
 to consider.

 As such rather than taking advantage of this capability I'm gonna check
 CollecTor to see if this capability has ever been used in a vote. If not
 we'll remove this from the dir-spec and I'll file a ticket for it to be
 removed from Tor.
