 Ok, with the new torflow instances running, it looks like this relay is
 recovering:

 Spot-checking this one, it looks promising too.

 My current intuition is that sbws is somehow not giving relays higher
 weights than they currently have in the consensus -- that is, if a relay
 has a tiny number in the consensus, then with sbws it is doomed to stay
 tiny, whereas with torflow it will get a much bigger number if it performs
 well compared to its other tiny peers. This intuition is not based on
 investigating the code or the design though. :)
