 dir-spec.txt still says
 {{{
    "Fast" -- A router is 'Fast' if it is active, and its bandwidth is
    either in the top 7/8ths for known active routers or at least some
    minimum (20KB/s until 0.2.3.7-alpha, and 100KB/s after that).
 }}}
 and
 {{{
    "Guard" -- A router is a possible 'Guard' if its Weighted Fractional
    Uptime is at least the median for "familiar" active routers, and if
    its bandwidth is at least median or at least 250KB/s.
 }}}

 yet we changed these numbers in 0.2.5.6-alpha (#12690), and actually we
 even changed 'median' to '3/4' for guard. We should update the dir-spec.
