Ah, I see. ides not having a current consensus is different from ides
being down. Ides still is running the stable Tor version and needs to be
upgraded to 0.2.3.x to be allowed to vote along with the other dirauths,
so it doesn't immediately know about the new consensus. I don't know
when ides will be upgraded, but I hope the answer is soon.
