[tor-relays] Consensus weight dropped

[Network Operations Center]

Hello,

You are not alone with this issue ( 
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2015-January/006055.html 
). The weirdest part is, that consensus is fixed to exactly 20 and on 
Jan 06, on both nodes yours and mine the weight spiked up for a short 
amount and then dropped back to 20. So far there is no helpful response 
regarding this subject.
