 For quite some time the longclaw dirauth has apparently been operating
 with badly degraded network connectivity resulting in degraded consensus
 votes.  Per

 Of particular note longclaw marks close to 5000 relays as "not fast"
 compare to the consensus where other authorities see no more than about
 100 as not fast w/r/t the overall consensus.  A close correlation exists
 between "not fast" relays in longclaw's consensus and relays omitted by
 the SBWS scanner associated with this authority.  Longclaw dirauth is not
 voting 2000 guard relay as such.
