 Replying to [comment:4 nickm]:
 > can anybody figure out why we implemented BadDir in the first place?

 From svn r9242 it looks like we were trying to figure out how to handle
 directories that gave 503 busy responses "too often", and I guess it
 looked handy to have a way for directory authorities to tell clients to
 not even try that directory for now.
