Comment(by nickm):

 Hm. That code would make us never list authorities in the consensus.  I'm
 worried that this would make clients and caches decide that all the
 authorities were down for all purposes, not just for relaying-traffic
 purposes.  Perhaps instead we could just give them very very low
 bandwidths and very very low weights?  Is there a reason that wouldn't
 work?
