I talked to Roger on IRC, and here's why this proposal may indeed be overkill:
As of January 2013, there is only a single version 3 directory authority left that serves version 2 statuses: dizum. moria1 and tor26 have been rejecting version 2 requests for a long time, and it's mostly an oversight that dizum still serves them. The other six authorities have never generated version 2 statuses for others to be used as pre-voting opinions. So, it's basically not true that version 2 statuses are required for the version 3 protocol to work properly.
Here's a possible way to move this forward.
- Please review and merge my prop147tweaks branch that contains tweaks
from our discussion above, regardless of whether this proposal will be implemented or not.
Done.
- I'm going to run a quick analysis of archived vote documents to see
how much authorities would have benefited from the others' votes before generating their own votes.
- I'm going to ask Alex to disable version 2 statuses on dizum using
DisableV2DirectoryInfo_ 1 to see what that does to the network. We should probably finish the 2048 bits RSA keys upgrade first before changing yet another variable.
Soynds good.
Okay, will post here how that went. Might take a week or maybe longer, depending on how far the 2048 bits RSA keys upgrade is.
All the best, Karsten
- If there's no convincing argument to implement opinion documents, we
close this proposal as rejected.
Great.
What do you think?
Sounds good. _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev .
