[tor-relays] stable flag voting differences

2013-10-27 Thread starlight . 2013q4
I observed an interesting behavior in the authority votes regarding relay stability and am curious if anyone can comment. Have a new relay, about ten days old. Relay is marked Fast Guard Running Stable Valid One 10 minute network outage three days ago and then a 68 minute outage one day ago
