Comment (by teor):
I don't like the risk involved in 02, so I'm going to skip it when I
create a branch on github.
02 restricts the types of alternate authorities to the type they are
declared as - for exampe, a bridge authority will only be of bridge type.
This might not be ok - '''it may stop bridge authorities being asked for
microdescriptors''', for example.
I don't know enough to understand the effects of 02, and I'm not sure it's
a net gain, even if it works.
