 failing to achieve any consensus?

 I think so, too.  It's been a while that we did this dance.

 SiNA, do you know how to generate a v3 identity and signing key?  See this
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob/HEAD:/doc/v3-authority-
 howto.txt howto].  Can you come up with the config line for Faravahar that
 will go into
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob/HEAD:/src/or/config.c
 config.c]?  It should be something like this with FFFF... being the v3
 identity key fingerprint (and without the line break):

 {{{
 Faravahar orport=443 no-v2
 v3ident=FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
   154.35.32.5:80 CF6D 0AAF B385 BE71 B8E1 11FC 5CFF 4B47 9237 33BC
 }}}

 Should we try to include Faravahar in the upcoming 0.2.2.36?  I guess if
 it will go into 0.2.2.37, that's going to take a while.
