I have an alternative proposal:

Let's deploy sbws to half the bandwidth authorities, wait 2 weeks, and

see if exit bandwidths improve.

Yes, that makes sense. A minimal version of this could be: don't do the
swapping back and forth, just add sbws and replace torflow scanners one
by one. As we do this, we could just keep a record of the metrics over
the votes and consensus during this time, and compare how the metrics
look for the sbws vs torflow votes vs the consensus, over time.

What were you thinking for the timeframe for the complete transition to
sbws?
