This has probably been addressed before but why isn't the MyFamily value just a single, unique ID?

If I have the relays with the fingerprints "John", "Jane", and "Alice" and I want to add "Bob", wouldn't it be simpler (and more logical) to add the unique MyFamily "Smith" to each torrc file than listing all fingerprints?

I believe the reason for the current setup is to prevent randos from adding themselves to your family of relays, and then causing problems.
