Changes (by teor):

 * keywords:  029-proposed, 029-nickm-unsure => 029-proposed, 029-nickm-
     unsure, 029-teor-yes
 * points:   => small


Comment:

 I think this is a very small change:
 * keep the shared random value calculated from the state file
 * replace it with the consensus shared random value, when a consensus
 forms
 * expire non-consensus shared random values at the end of the commit phas
