Comment (by teor):

 This is about the format of the *vote* line, not the format of the
 v3bwfile header, which is multiple lines.

 Replying to [comment:8 teor]:
 > Hi juga, this is the ticket for putting the bandwidth authority version
 in votes.
 >
 > We are working on the file format in #25869 and
 https://github.com/torproject/torspec/pull/4
 >
 > I think we should:
 > 1. add a "timestamp=" to the timestamp
 > 2. turn the entire bwfile header into a single line
 > 3. put it all in the vote as a line with a new keyword, "bandwidth-file"
 >
 > For bandwidth file format 1.0.0, the line would be:
 > bandwidth-file timestamp=1234567890
 >
 > For bandwidth file format 1.1.0, the line would be:
 > bandwidth-file timestamp=1234567890 version=1.1.0 software=sbws
 software_version=0.1.0
 >
 > If we implement the feature in this way, then Tor will automatically add
 new fields to the bandwidth-file line.
