 Default values might be appropriate for the flag-relays-in-country-as-
 Invalid option, if there are a few countries which we consider too
 dangerous for any user in any country to ever connect to.

 some technical problem that happens if a different dirauth sets this
 option?

 At best, it would have no effect on those dirauths.  At worst, it would
 make them start voting on the BadExit flag, and against BadExiting all
 relays not in the specified countries.  (I should go RTFS.)
