But the list of flags that Onionoo provides is what the relay or bridge had assigned when it was last running. Removing one flag from that list is wrong. We could remove all flags, but that would also remove potentially useful information. As would removing the `"Running"` flag. For example, there can be bridges that are listed in the network status without the `"Running"` flag, because the bridge authority cannot successfully reach it. So, knowing whether it had the `"Running"` flag when it was last around is information. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6355#comment:11> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
