Comment (by irl):

 It looks like summary documents are comprised solely of fields that are
 present in the node statuses. These seem to be populated using the
 consensus and GeoIP/DNS information, but not descriptors. This means it's
 not possible to easily add the operating system information to the node
 status such that it can be used for indexing/filtering.

 karsten - Do you think it is reasonable to have another step in the
 updater process to include descriptor information in the node statuses
 just to implement this filter? I wonder if perhaps we should take tickets
 like this one and put them on a wishlist for a future OnionooDB where they
 will be considerably easier to implement.
