 > I don't think it will be too disasterous to change the bw auths to also
 scan non-Fast nodes, but it might slow down the scanning quite a bit. Is
 there a better way to handle this problem? One approach might be adding an
 additional OrNodeRestriction to select all nodes with either Fast or
 Unmeasured...

 I think that's a fine idea.  Another option is to scan all nodes which are
 Fast, plus all nodes which will meet the current Fast threshold if their
 advertised values turn out to be accurate.  I don't have any sense which
 is better though.
