   None. Tor clients already support consensuses without Named flags, and testing in private Tor networks has never revealed any issues in this regard.

Imo we _should_ check through the code for things related to the Named flag, though, back through 0.2.3 or maybe 0.2.2. Reasons:

* Private networks never worked very well with older tors. * Maybe there's some piece of obscure functionality that breaks without naming authorities which we never tested on a private network.
