Comment:

 Looks like this problem was caused by somebody setting up 2K relays over a
 short period of time which failed at reliably uploading descriptors to the
 directory authorities.  This has stopped a few days ago.  We might want to
 look at archived votes/consensuses to understand what was happening, but
 it doesn't look as much as a bug in Tor anymore.  Reducing priority to
 minor.
