Comment:

 I've pushed a conservative patch to maint-0.2.2 as bug4115 in my arma
 repository.

 This fixes the 'bug' side of it. The 'feature' side of whether relays
 should switch to begindir (improves their resistance to tampering on the
 wire, including tampering of unauthenticated stuff like x-your-address-is;
 but increases the load they place on the authorities) should imo have
 nothing to do with 0.2.2.
