Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:3 arma]:
 > Sounds good. In terms of 3, we might be happiest if we contact the buggy
 relay operators and give them some chance to upgrade, rather than
 immediately cutting out all of the fallback operators who were kind enough
 to test the alpha version for us. :)

 I try to mail fallback operators before removing fallbacks, as most issues
 are resolvable by the operator, and it helps me determine whether the
 issue is permanent (lost keys, lost IPs) or temporary (changed ports).
