Comment (by teor):

 [comment:25 My previous comment] still applies, if we merge this latest
 patch, it will break the chutney "mixed" version target. Even if it only
 breaks test networks, it's still breakage. To merge it into Tor, we need a
 new consensus method.

 We might also want to resolve [comment:22 mikeperry's concerns] before we
 merge:
 "for full correctness I think we need to initialize T to 4 here, if we
 initialize all other weights to 1".
