Comment(by mikeperry):

 Hrmm.. I just checked the bandwidth authority source, and right now it
 appears we only bother to scan nodes already marked as "Fast". If we
 deploy this in combination with the "Unmeasured" cap from #2286, it might
 be possible that new nodes never get the Fast flag, and thus stay
 Unmeasured forever. This would be bad...

 I suppose an even more important question right now is can this already
 happen with the current Fast cutoff vs the Unmeasured cap?
