Comment (by nickm):
For the end-of-month goals here, just adding an option to force nodes to
be guard/non-guard from the approved-routers file, or with whatever other
temporary kludge works around issues (list by nickname or fingerprint?),
is fine. Or whatever else works well enough.
For longer term, it seems like we'd like to have something that allows the
authorities to transition into believing real measurements once the
network has been running for a bit. Perhaps after the network has been
running for long enough to collect data, it's time to turn off the "force
nodes to be guard/non-guard" flags and start collecting real measurements?
