dirserv_generate_networkstatus_vote_obj() recently (or soon to be, depending on how you see it -- it sits in my branch bug6363_5535) started generating two "m" lines in votes, one for consensus methods 8-13 and one for method 14 ("a" lines). For relays without an IPv6 address (i.e. not including an "or-address" line in their descriptor), the two hashes will be identical. As an optimisation we could combine two "m" lines with identical hash values. As an example, instead of saying ``` "m 1,2,3 H1" "m 4,5 H1" ``` we would say ``` "m 1,2,3,4,5 H1" ``` but still say ``` "m 1,2,3 H1" "m 4,5 H2" ``` This affects the size of the votes only and don't affect bandwidth consumption for ordinary relays or clients in any way.
