Comment (by atagar):

 Hi Tom. What's wrong with callers simply doing the following?

 {{{
 stem.descriptor.remote.DIRECTORY_AUTHORITIES = authorities
 }}}

 Honestly overriding authorities isn't something callers should do. The
 remote module lets you define the relays to query instead of the
 authorities (they're just defaults). The trouble here seems more to be
 that DocTor isn't it making it easy to point elsewhere.
