Comment:

 That non-zero consensus weight value is what those relays had when they
 were last listed in a network status.  Setting that value to 0 would
 remove information that might otherwise still be useful.  The same applies
 to a lot of other fields that we could set to zero when the relay goes
 offline, but why should we do that?  You could always look at both the
 `"running"` and the `"consensus_weight"` field and only consider running
 relays.  Or you could add the parameter `running=true` to only look at
 running relays.  Closing as won't fix, unless you have another reason for
 still wanting this change, in which case you should re-open this ticket.
 Thanks!
