commit 58cb98af32e8436eccf9536255b8158271f1c03d
Author: Iain R. Learmonth <irl at fsfe.org>
Date:   Thu May 16 12:54:31 2019 +0100

    Prop 301: No longer vote on RecommendedPackages
    
    This is the first half of implementing proposal 301. The
    RecommendedPackages torrc option is marked as obsolete and
    the test cases for the option removed. Additionally, the code relating
    to generating and formatting package lines in votes is removed.
    
    These lines may still appear in votes from other directory authorities
    running earlier versions of the code and so consensuses may still
    contain package lines. A new consensus method will be needed to stop
    including package lines in consensuses.
    
    Fixes: #28465
