Yes, until a few days ago ides was - when it was online - voting along
with the other dirauths. Now that the other dirauths upgraded, ides is
left out and the warning happens. We might want to silence the warning,
as we don't warn when a dirauth is totally offline, and the user can't
actually do anything to fix this.
