Hi,
There are three directory authorities voting BadExit (tor26, gabelmoo and moria1). As announced at the dev meeting in Berlin earlier this year, another dirauth (maatuska) will start voting BadExit. This will happen today or tomorrow.
maatuska will start out by voting BadExit exactly like the other three are doing now, including AuthDirBadExitCC sy,ir (see ticket #4923).
One effect of this is that three out of four voting dirauths will have to vote BadExit in order for an exit to lose its exit flag. I have high hopes in longclaw will start voting too soon, improving the balance some.
Hi Linus. Any reason not to have longclaw and maatuska start doing this at the same time?

Actually Linus and I had been scheming since the last dev meeting to get both of our dirauths voting BadExit before the end of the year.... and in fact, in the next consensus vote will have longclaw joining maatuska in voting BadExit exactly like the other four are doing now (including AuthDirBadExitCC sy,ir - at least for now).
We put a lot of thought and discussion into it and are running exitmap scans to get secondary and tertiary confirmations on the results that are coming in and now feel more confident in the overall understanding of what this means and how it impacts things.
