Roger Dingledine:
We should somehow teach everybody that losing their flags for a few days is totally fine and normal, and even something to be proud of because you took a useful step at keeping your Tor relay safe and secure
Maybe we should introduce a new flag for the relays that are running the cutting edge version of Tor?
And another one for long-time relays. say, if a relay has been in the consensus, it would get an special flag of some sort...
