Comment:

 Who the heck is downloading v2 networkstatuses? Only authorities should be
 doing that.

 So, I'd like to finally implement proposal 147 in the 0.2.4.x series,
 which should be the final nail in the coffin of any need for v2
 networkstatuses.  With that in mind, let's figure out if there's some
 minimal version of this that will work in the meantime to prevent a
 recurrence of the issue you describe.  No need for anything fancy, since
 we're going to be removing the need entirely.

 I think "no longer serve expired ones" is just fine for now; changing the
 URL on the other hand would break authorities that haven't upgraded to
 know the new URL.

 Marking for 0.2.4.x, unless this is vital enough for 0.2.3.
