"No Self-Referencing Relays"
I'm not sure what exactly you mean by that but I assume it is a MyFamily
config where a relay includes his own fingerprint. Why does that hurt?
The unnecessary descriptor space/bw?
This is something Virgil wanted because he thought self-connections were ugly. If the
penalizing of self-connections is found to be uglier than the self-connections themselves, we're
both fine with removing it.
Can this be downgraded to an informational message? (or eliminated entirely?)
Penalties can be quite discouraging, particularly for minor configuration variants.

I agree, and this one in particular is important to some operators: by allowing a relay to specify itself in the family, one can just have a single configuration file for all relays in a family.
