Some possible fallout related to 
the earlier discussion

[tor-relays] amount of unmeasured relays continuously rising since 2 weeks 
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2015-May/007003.html

My relay

   Binnacle 4F0DB7E687FC7C0AE55C8F243DA8B0EB27FBF1F2

has 9375 Kbyte (75 Mbit) of unfuzzy
(no ISP traffic shaping) bandwidth,
but in the last few days the BWAuths'
opinion went from

# gabelmoo
# tor26
# moria1
# longclaw

 bw1-w Bandwidth=7382 Measured=7100
*bw2-w Bandwidth=7382 Measured=9330
 bw3-w Bandwidth=7382 Measured=13700 GuardFraction=69
 bw4-w Bandwidth=7382 Measured=23700

to

 bw1-w Bandwidth=9375 Measured=17100
 bw3-w Bandwidth=9375 Measured=77900 GuardFraction=75
*bw4-w Bandwidth=9375 Measured=23000

* selected for consensus

While it's flattering to be promoted
to double the actual capacity, with the
potential to go 8x, I suspect it's
may not a great idea in the grand
scheme of things.

And to think at one time I was feeling
short-changed. . .

FYI BWauths
