Comment (by arma):
I still think there's a strong argument for simplifying our design and
code and ripping out the bandwidth self-tests. So long as there are
bwauths of any sort running, they will produce load on the relays, which
will have the same effect as the self-test. And if there aren't bwauths
running, then either the existing client traffic is enough to make relays
realize they are fast or it isn't, but the tiny amount of traffic from the
self-test isn't going to help that much.
