Comment(by atagar):

 > By the logic of the other dir/status* stuff, the right GETINFO should
 probably be something more like the URL for fetching micordescriptor
 consensus, I guess?

 Guess so, though honestly the 'dir/*' options still puzzle me. They're
 over seven years old and have a cryptic enough description that I'm not
 sure what they're even *supposed* to do. From my read of the commits that
 added them they're for raw descriptor access? Maybe an addition for some
 long-forgotten research project?

 My vote would be to mark the 'dir/*' options as being deprecated (does
 anyone use them?) and instead have this ticket be for v3 counterparts of
 the 'ns/*' options. I suppose we'll need to distinguish microdescriptor
 flavored documents so maybe something like...

 * GETINFO ns/v3/id/<OR identity>
 * GETINFO ns/v3-md/id/<OR identity>
 * ... etc...
