Comment (by starlight):

 I watched it the entire time and no quorum
 whatsoever since maatuska quit at

    2015-08-02-19-00-00-vote-49015F. . .

 moria1 and gablemoo continue to post measurements
 but the consensus algorithm ignores them and
 uses self-measure capped at 10000 with
 fewer than three reporting BWauths.

 maatusak quit at exactly three days after it's
 restart (frozen measurements) in response to
 the referenced comments and I assume that
 it failed with bug in the code that brings
 up the bulks of the new measurements from
 a clean start.

 Wanted to see what would happen so I just
 watched and stayed mum.
