 Very old directory consensus methods simply won't generate results that
 work on the Tor network.  There's a security flaw in consensus methods 7
 through 11.  According to proposal 215, it would be fine to simply require
 method 13 as a minimum for all authorities, since it's supported by 0.2.3
 and later.

 We should do this.
