Nick Mathewson 68b474c00b Mark proposal 282 as "accepted", not "finished".
Nobody votes on this flag any more, but we _didn't_ actually remove
support in the code for voting on it.

I incorrectly marked it Finished because its ticket was closed,
but it doesn't seem to be actually implemented in Tor.

Title: Remove "Named" and "Unnamed" handling from consensus voting
Author: Nick Mathewson
Created: 12-Sep-2017
Status: Accepted
Target: 0.3.3.x
1. Summary
Authorities no longer vote for the "Named" and "Unnamed" flags, and we
have begun to remove the client code that supports them. (See proposal
235). The next logical step is to remove the special handling from these
flags from the consensus voting algorithm. We specify this here.
2. Proposal
We add a new consensus method, here represented as M, to be allocated
when this proposal's implementation is merged.
We specify that the Named and Unnamed flags are only handled
specially when the negotiated consensus method is earlier than M. If
the negotiated method is M or later, then the Named and Unnamed
flags are handled as if any they were any other consensus flags.
