 #1830 (fixed in 0.2.2.15-alpha) addressed a bug in how relays running Tor
 0.2.2.7-alpha through 0.2.2.14-alpha handle the bwconnrate and bwconnburst
 consensus params.

 Now that we understand the bug better, those two consensus params should
 be verboten until 0.2.2.14-alpha is obsolete.

 So piece one: note in dir-spec.txt about the old behavior of the broken
 params (apparently undocumented so far).

 Piece two: come up with new names that we can use instead, and note them
 in dir-spec.

 Piece three: teach Tor relays to read those new names instead. Should be
 an easy fix:
 connection_or.c:        (int)networkstatus_get_param(NULL, "bwconnrate",
 connection_or.c:        (int)networkstatus_get_param(NULL, "bwconnburst",
