Comment:

 Possibly naively, I think another option is that we scrap the current
 parsers and dep on stem. I have neither reviewed stem's parsers nor have I
 looked at the api...but I think it sounds like a reasonable idea. :)

 atagar, thoughts? Basically, we need to parse bridge descriptors, extra-
 info descriptors, and networkstatuses and retrieve ~10% of the information
 they contain. I'm under the impression stem has support for all tor docs,
 but this may be wrong, though. Do you think this is a good application for
 stem and is it worth pulling in the entire lib just for the parsers? I
 really appreciate any input you have!
