For backward compatibility, we should consider a default that refers to referring to Ed25519 relays by the first 160 bits of their key.

5. Changes to external tools

This is the big one. We need a relatively comprehensive list of tools we can break with the above changes. Anything that refers to relays by SHA1(RSA1024_id) will need to be able to remember and use an Ed25519 key instead.

What does "remember and" mean here? Do you mean "remember to use Ed25519 and"?
