Comment(by mikeperry):

 Implementation detail: Discarding results automatically causes
 bwauthority.py to remeasure those relays with fewest measurements due to
 the use of the ExactUniformGenerator in TorCtl/PathSupport.py to track the
 result count. Because of this, relays with discarded stream measurement
 values should be measured rapidly, before the completion of a slice. So no
 actual reported values would ever be ommitted. (Assuming the code updates
 the counter in ExactUniformGenerator while also discarding the measured
 stream bw values :).
