Comment (by nickm):

 My issue is that  dir_server_mode() can tell us "true" when we build a
 descriptor, and tell us "false" later on when we decide whether to serve
 directory information.

 >BTW, do we have plans for deprecating the DirPort completely? So changing
 the client logic to use BEGIN_DIR for everything, and eventually ripping
 off the DirPort code from tor?

 Plausible, but I don't think we've made any such plan yet.
