 Replying to [comment:2 cypherpunks]:
 > A relay might be part of multiple families, so it would have to return 0
 to N family IDs?

 The issue is that asymmetric connections (where relay A points to relay B
 but not the other way around) do exist. This does not mean that a relay
 belongs to multiple families, rather, based on some test scripts I've run,
 the operator seems to have forgotten to refer a new relay to all its
 family members.

 However, work is currently being done to resolve this issue.

 Once this is implemented (thanks to karsten), an effective family will
 essentially be a graph theoretical perfect graph, where every pair of
 nodes has a symmetric connection. This would preclude any chances of a
 relay to be connected to two separate families, since an effective family
 can then be verified using the handshake theorem.
