Comment(by arma):

 Hm? I think 0.2.2 relays do not cache microdescriptors. It's not until
 0.2.3.1-alpha that they started doing it:
 {{{
     - Caches now download, cache, and serve multiple "flavors" of the
       consensus, including a flavor that describes microdescriptors.
     - Caches now download, cache, and serve microdescriptors -- small
       summaries of router descriptors that are authenticated by all of the
       directory authorities. Once enough caches are running this code,
       clients will be able to save significant amounts of directory
 bandwidth
       by downloading microdescriptors instead of router descriptors.
 }}}

 0.2.2 authorities do cache and serve microdescriptors, but they're an
 exception.
