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?
There's a startup warning for this: it says your relay version is "too new".
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…
At some point, we'd like to make long-term relays fallback directory mirrors. That's not a flag, but it is a special kind of status.
Also, isn't this the kind of thing that tor-roster does? I think these kinds of features would be better there, rather than cluttering up the consensus.
