 Right now in master, we fetch microdescriptors from authorities and from
 any host that  is running 0.2.3.0-alpha (i.e, the code from git  before
 the 0.2.3.1-alpha release) or later.  That's because there are currently
 (in the consensus I see) 11 hosts running 0.2.3.0-alpha-dev and none
 running 0.2.3.1 yet.  But at some point soon, we should switch the code so
 that 0.2.3.1-alpha is required.

 The tradeoff here is that 0.2.3.0-alpha-dev hosts are likelier to be
 broken, but 0.2.3.1-alpha hosts are currently nonexistent.
