 > This doesn't look like something we would want to apply to the main
 repo. Where would you want it to live? In a separate branch?  I'm doubtful
 it would be helpful to re-architect things sufficiently that this was
 easily parameterized...

 I'm not sure - this is an architectural question:

 Core tor has an option that sets a whole lot of parameters useful for test
 networks.
 Perhaps we could do the same with the bandwidth scanner. But that means
 the resulting changes are scattered throughout the code.

 Maybe a separate branch is better, but then it easily gets outdated.

 Ideally, we could make these parameters configurable, and distribute a
 testing config (or a set of testing defaults).

 Perhaps documenting this issue and providing a patch is the best strategy?
