MyFamily is somewhat orthogonal to the idea behind the verifyurl field.
MyFamily has an impact on path selection, ContactInfo/verifyurl has not.
verifyurl is used to establish a bidirectional verification of the operatorurl.

So if someone sets up a relay claiming to be torservers.net
verifyurl can be used to detect that automatically if torservers.net sets verifyurl in their ContactInfo.
