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.
- If there's no convincing argument to implement opinion documents, we
close this proposal as rejected.
Great.
What do you think?
Sounds good.
