Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [comment:2 arma]:
 > So, in summary, let's use AuthDirInvalid and !invalid more often?

 And also maybe file a ticket saying "Don't give HSDir if you don't give
 Valid".

 And then we could go much crazier and design a new consensus method that
 takes away the Valid flag if three or more dir auths don't assign it
 (rather than waiting for a majority of dir auths).
