If I understand the proposal correctly, operators will still be able to name their relay or bridge, and people can still find it in Atlas or Globe by this nickname. If so, great!
Yes, this is in no way related to the nickname field.
The gabelmoo and tor26 directory authorities can simply remove the NamingAuthoritativeDirectory configuration option to stop giving out Named flags. This will mean the consensus won't include Named and Unnamed flags any longer. The code collecting naming statistics is independent of Tor, so it can run a while longer to ensure Naming can be switched on if unforeseen issues arise.
What's the process here?
"Ask on tor-dev@ if anybody sees a problem if the Named and Unnamed flags go away, wait for a week, and then just do it?"
I don't know, I want to move gabelmoo to a new machine and don't really want to set up the naming system. So I guess the above process as soon as possible :)
