Comment (by teor):

 If we did exclude authorities, we'd also have to fix the following
 calculation, otherwise BwAuths would never sleep (or just add 8 or 9 to
 min_unmeasured):
 {{{
 NOTICE[Sun Nov 27 08:06:31 2016]:Less than 2 unmeasured nodes (0).
 Sleeping for a bit
 }}}

 And fixing this would be nice, too:
 {{{
 NOTICE[Sun Nov 27 09:30:03 2016]:Measured 100.0% of all tor nodes (100.0%
 of previous consensus bw).
 }}}
