Comment(by ln5):

 Replying to [comment:5 nickm]:
 > method 13 needs to become method 14 -- 13 just got used by bug6404.

 OK, that's now been fixed in a7716707, same branch.

 > Will need microdesc support before it's done.

 Yes.

 > Does this need to be deployed and producing "a" lines for September? If
 so, it needs to go in 0.2.3.x, unfortunately.  ("No" is the answer that
 would make me happie.)

 External (SponsorG) deadline is September 30. Why does it have to go
 in 0.2.3? Wouldn't the 0.2.4.1 (around September 7) be a good release
 for this?

 > The logic for setting the 3rd argument for compare_vote_rs is pretty
 complicated! Some comments might help me out.

 I'm afraid I don't understand. Do you mean that the places where we're
 calling compare_vote_rs() are hard to understand? The

     consensus_method >= MIN_METHOD_FOR_A_LINES

 in compute_routerstatus_consensus()?


 > The new memset() in networkstatus_compute_consensus() is redundant with
 #6514, already fixed.

 Fixed in e6225a33, same branch.
