Comment (by yawning):

 One other thing that might be neat/useful along this line of thought is
 something like:
 {{{
 AuthDirForceFamily name node,node,...
    Declare that the listed Tor servers belong to a certain family,
    overriding the `MyFamily` as self reported by the servers in question.
 }}}

 Might be hard to implement.  I'd feel a lot better about "sketch nodes of
 doom" getting to be relays if they could be forcefully tagged as sketch
 nodes of doom.  With the proposed `AuthDirRestrain` option, all they'll
 get to be is the middle hop so this may be redundant and needlessly
 overcomplicated (I have no idea how voting would work here).
