 > Mike, assuming that we're going to do _something_ so that the output of
 the consensus  changes here such that nodes can't get high bandwidth in
 the consensus when they're not measured -- what *would* work to keep
 measurements happy?

 I think some way to explicitly say that a relay has not been measured is
 the best plan. I think a new consensus method with "Capped=1" could be
 workable. Patching the bandwidth authorities for that shouldn't be
 terribly hard, I think (though I am speaking from memory here).

 To bikeshed a little: Maybe Capped is the wrong keyword. We have other
 bandwidth caps we used to do, and we may want to cap in the other
 direction for other reasons.. Perhaps just Unmeasured=1 instead?
