 Replying to [comment:22 wagon]:
 > Now `GETINFO dir/status-vote/current/consensus` returns 6392 relays
 while `GETINFO desc/all-recent` returns 7294 relays. Why these numbers are
 different? Is it so, because descriptors are distributed in parallel to
 consensus and are not trusted until they enter consensus?

 Yes. You can check your answers to these questions by reading the specs:
