Comment(by mikeperry):

 What forms of this can we call "small-feature" and not "proposal-needed"?

 I like the idea of doing the consensus weight threshold in combination
 with the exit count threshold. My gut says "wait until (70% consensus-
 weight && 40% node count)", or some nearby  numbers. I could also see 75%
 weight && 33% node count, if we like fractions.
