 the v3 dir spec says
 {{{
    Caches and authorities must still support older versions of the
    directory protocols, until the versions of Tor that require them are
    finally out of commission.
 }}}

 which implies that the existing directory authorities are still answering
 v2 requests (e.g. network statuses). In fact they're not. And the caches
 haven't been for even longer.

 dir-spec-v2.txt should probably go to the attic too.
