 or maybe it could wait for chutney 2?

 a `m-n` or `p%-q%` argument, by modifying
 `routerset_contains_routerstatus`. I'd want to ensure this was only active
 in test networks, of course.

 Hehe. My initial intuition would be to build this feature in chutney.

 I prefer our intrusions to the Tor codebase for the purposes of testing
 networks to be minimal, if it can be helped. Also, chutney is in Python
 and I imagine that editing the templating logic of chutney shouldn't be
 too hard for this purpose.

 However, if there is indeed a wider range of users, then we should think
 about it more. Who is doing testing networks with something other than
 chutney and why? Maybe Shadow needs this feature, but I'm not sure.
