For quite some time the longclaw dirauth has apparently been operating with badly degraded network connectivity resulting in degraded consensus votes. Per

Of particular note longclaw marks close to 5000 relays as "not fast" compare to the consensus where other authorities see no more than about 100 as not fast w/r/t the overall consensus. A close correlation exists between "not fast" relays in longclaw's consensus and relays omitted by the SBWS scanner associated with this authority. Longclaw dirauth is not voting 2000 guard relay as such.
