Summary + + Authorities no longer vote for the "Named" and "Unnamed" flags, and we + have begun to remove the client code that supports them. (See proposal + 235). The next logical step is to remove the special handling from these + flags from the consensus voting algorithm. We specify this here. + +2. Proposal + + We add a new consensus method, here represented as M, to be allocated + when this proposal's implementation is merged. + + We specify that the Named and Unnamed flags are only handled + specially when the negotiated consensus method is earlier than M. If + the negotiated method is M or later, then the Named and Unnamed + flags are handled as if any they were any other consensus flags. + -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
