Hi,
It looks like 94.7% of all Running relays have the "Fast" flag now. If that percentage becomes 100%, the flag will become meaningless. What were the reasons behind the current definition of "Fast", and are those still valid? If not, should "Fast" become self-adjusting ("faster than 2 Mbps or 70% of all Guard relays, whichever is greater")?
It is self-adjusting, and we expect at least 87.5% of relays to have it:
"Fast" -- A router is 'Fast' if it is active, and its bandwidth is either in the top 7/8ths for known active routers or at least 100KB/s.

But maybe we could increase the threshold.
Feel free to open the ticket at:
