Comment (by juga):

 i've not checked which consensus weight corresponds to 600Kbyte/sec
 advertised bandwidth.
 i'm not sure what teor meant with "top 75% of exits", ie. which bandwidth
 value they think about there.
 Looking https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#toprelays, showing 100
 relays per page, it says "Top Relays by Consensus Weight", the bandwidth
 column says "Advertised bandwidth", the first relay in the 3rd page (~1/3
 ~= 75%) shows 58.1 MiB/s.
 We should look which is the actual consensus bandwidth of that 1st relay,
 if we want to use a hardcore minimum value.
 Instead of that i'd suggest, since bandwidth values changes and we choose
 exits based on consensus weight, is that:
 1. create a method in relaylist that order them by consensus weight.
    You could based it `RelayList.exits`, then order them
 `sorted(self.relays, key=lambda r: r.consensus_bandwidth)`
 2. calculate which would be the relay that corresponds to the 75% in that
 order
 3. use that value as the minimum value
 Hope it helps!
