Comment:

 The current bwauths have these 90th percentile figures:
 {{{
 98 128k
 99 64k
 100 32k
 (x3)

 97 128k
 99 64k
 100 32k

 92 128k
 94 64k
 95 32k
 }}}

 So we should definitely remove the 64k and lower files (that's 128 cells,
 which is just barely over some SENDME limits). We might want to remove the
 128k file as well, but because one bwauth is using it for 8% of relays, we
 should probably keep it for now.

 Let's re-evaluate this once the bandwidth authorities have stopped moving
 their servers around.
