Comment (by karsten):

 One more random thought from discussing this with atagar: if we want to
 bootstrap new directory authorities, there will be no old votes from that
 authority.  Maybe that means we'll want to use consensuses as data basis
 and not votes.

 (Please tell me if this ticket was not intended to be a place to
 brainstorm and collect ideas, and I'll stop adding random thoughts.)
