Here the next steps are to figure out how to do load balancing properly with this new parameter (mainly a math problem), and to sort out the logistics for how to label the known relays so directory authorities can assign weights properly (mainly coding / operator ux).
Which boils down to "subjective" versus "objective" criterias of a weight distribution algorithms.
Which is fine as long as the maths behind it is public available and understandable.
This would enable a relay operator to verify/falsify it.
I'm pretty sure the maths behind it will be public. For the "understandable" part, I guess there can be a double explanation, one for the mathematicians/CS that know/understand the maths, and a popularisation of this explanation for those who don't understand the maths.
