Comment(by karsten):

 Replying to [ticket:2089 rransom]:
 > The manual page's description of HSAuthoritativeDir does not specify:
 >
 >  * what hidden service descriptor versions such a directory will
 authoritate,

 Version 0 descriptors only.

 >  * what versions of Tor produce such descriptors, or
 >  * what versions of Tor consume such descriptors.

 See the Changelog for 0.2.2.1-alpha:

 {{{
     - Hidden services no longer publish version 0 descriptors, and clients
       do not request or use version 0 descriptors. However, the old hidden
       service authorities still accept and serve version 0 descriptors
       when contacted by older hidden services/clients.
 }}}

 That means 0.2.1.x versions and older produce and consume these
 descriptors.

 > It should specify all of those facts (until we're ready to stop
 documenting the HSAuthoritativeDir option and/or remove it from the Tor
 sources).
