 In the past, it made sense to use directory authorities for all other
 network functions too, because they provided a significant contribution to
 the network's available bandwidth. Now that this isn't so anymore, and
 we're starting to see more and more bugs where the dirauths also act as
 relays, we should change that so the dirauths can focus on providing a
 consensus and bootstrapping functionality.
