-----------------------------+--------------------------------
 If Tor always tries to use the same fallback directory mirror to bootstrap
 (when the consensus expires because Tor isn't used), fewer servers learn
 about Tor clients, and a Tor client is less likely to download from a bad
 fallback directory mirror.

 This is low priority, as most Tor clients only bootstrap once [citation
 needed].
