Comment:

 Looking at prop220, I don't think it specifies that ed25519 keys should go
 in the consensus. It says they should go in the votes and the
 microdescriptors.

 We can put them in the consensus as well, I guess, with a plan to
 eventually remove them from the microdescriptors.  I'm concerned about the
 overhead, but as more people migrate to consensus diffs, the impact should
 become less horrible.
