Filename: 282-remove-named-from-consensus.txt Title: Remove "Named" and "Unnamed" handling from consensus voting Author: Nick Mathewson Created: 12-Sep-2017 Status: Open Target: 0.3.3.x 1. Summary Authorities no longer vote for the "Named" and "Unnamed" flags, and we have begun to remove the client code that supports them. (See proposal 235). The next logical step is to remove the special handling from these flags from the consensus voting algorithm. We specify this here. 2. Proposal We add a new consensus method, here represented as M, to be allocated when this proposal's implementation is merged. We specify that the Named and Unnamed flags are only handled specially when the negotiated consensus method is earlier than M. If the negotiated method is M or later, then the Named and Unnamed flags are handled as if any they were any other consensus flags.
