Will dir auth ops make the list of rejected relays including its
reason for removal available to the public for transparency?

If I understand option AuthDirReject correctlty, a dir auth. is not
voting for such a relay with the 'rejected' flag*, it is simply not
putting that relay in its vote at all.

So there is currently no way to determine whether a relay has been
"disappeared" by dir auth ops or the relay op decided to discontinue
running the relay itself?

(I was not looking for BadExit relays - they are easy to spot in the
consensus.)

*) actually there is no such thing as a 'rejected' flag
