 This one.

 >    * let a controller tell a Tor that is acting as an HSDir to store and
 serve a descriptor?
 >    * let a controller tell Tor to store a descriptor as though it had
 been received from an HSDir?

 This is ticket #3522.

 This would make the existing ‘`PublishHidServDescriptors 0`’ configuration
 option less useless, as well as making testing an implementation of some
 possible designs for #3507 much easier.
