 by adding the `"flag-thresholds"` keyword to make the new line exactly the
 same as in v3 votes.

 Yeah, adding this sounds like a good plan. I admit I hadn't thought about
 this, but I'll add the prefix.

 bridge network statuses?
 I'm hesitant to say this should be public, but I want arma's and nick's
 input on this. BridgeDB doesn't really take advantage of the status flags,
 except for supplying stable bridges, so it shouldn't affect bridge
 distribution **now**. I'm less certain this will be true in the future or
 if public availability could have negative consequences. otoh, this info
 will be good for metrics, so we should maintain an archive...so maybe they
 should remain unsanitized.
