 We need to find a way to determine vote divergence so we can find out who
 is and who is not voting on things that everyone else is agreeing on.

 DocTor is the perfect framework for monitoring everything, so we need to
 somehow link those things (or parse each DirAuth vote to find divergences?
 I dont know if Reject lines are published in the votes, I know Invalid and
 BadExit are there, but I dont think Reject is, perhaps that is because if
 it were there it would leak that information?)

 If we have a convenient way to see which DAs are not voting to reject
 relays, then we can use that to notify and apply appropriate social
 pressure to get them to block things.

 Damien, do you have some thoughts about how we could do this with DocTor?
