 Replying to [comment:8 teor]:
 > Deferring this change - it's not clear it's necessary, and the current
 behaviour is acceptable:
 > * fallbacks contact the authorities when bootstrapping, or other
 fallbacks if all authorities are inaccessible
 > * fallbacks contact the authorities when updating their consensus, or
 other directory mirrors if all authorities are inaccessible
   (... or when looking for certs and (micro) descriptors  that they don't
 currently have, right?)
