Comment(by nickm):

 Hm. So the behavior of the patch seems to be splitting
 directory_caches_dir_info() into two functions: one of which is just plain
 "Do you serve directory information?" and the other of which is "Do you
 serve directory information, or do you need to fetch directory information
 in a very up-to-date fashion because you want to block one-hop circuits?"

 I think probably what we should do is kill "directory_caches_dir_info()"
 entirely and split into a "do you serve directory info" function and a
 "should you cache directory info aggressively" function, since none of the
 current function names is descriptive.
