 Right now clients are checking if dir_port != 0 for the weights in
 http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/Feb-2010/msg00009.html.
 We should switch that to V3Dir, because if we make all relays support
 tunneleddircons without a dirport, we'll want
 to make sure we still balance among those properly.

Comment:

 I think the v2dir flag was a mistake. We just use the Tor version anyway
 in practice to decide whether it should be able to handle a given URL.

 So I think making a v3dir flag would be even more of a mistake. What's
 next, v4dir?

 It looks from comment 3 like Mike has this direction in mind. So Mike,
 what's left before we can close this trac?
