Comment(by arma):

 I favor all of the approaches. It is not a menu.

 That said, we can get some good mileage just by doing A and A'.

 Step zero is A': write a little tool to look through the consensus and the
 votes, distinguish between relays whose weight is a result of bwauth votes
 and those whose weight is just using the number from the descriptor, and
 see what fraction of the guard / exit / total weights we're talking about.
 My guess is it's a tiny fraction, and then we can proceed with A.
