Comment (by dgoulet):

 Ok, I've re-engineered quite a bit the branch after all the feedbacks.
 I've created a new branch thus a new PR:

 PR: https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/1691
 Branch: `ticket33029_043_02`

 Now the approach is simplified. HOWEVER, because this branch only uses the
 nodelist address set, the authority will fail to recognize its fellow
 authorities as long as it doesn't have a consensus. I think that is fine
 but it might not be if anyone can think of a reason why. I can see that
 the authority is starting and gets bombarded already but doesn't have a
 consensus?

 If this is indeed an issue, we'll have to fallback to testing the trusted
 dir list directly.
