 Arm does not explain the flags because they're a tor attribute and
 explained in its spec...
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/dir-spec.txt#l1352

 I wouldn't mind accepting a patch that added a dialog to explain them,
 however it wouldn't be very discoverable if that was under the menu. What
 exactly did you have in mind?
