Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:2 atagar]:
 > Oops, forgot to ask - DocTor is a tool to help directory authority
 operators. I'm fine with adding a check for the fallback directories but
 who should be notified about it and what action will be taken? I'm against
 generating notices unless someone is volunteering to be responsible to
 resolve the issue.

 In general, it's good to know how the figure is trending, and be
 transparent about it, so can it be logged to #tor-bots every hour?

 It's an issue if the figure drops below, say, 50%. We need to update the
 list of fallback directories in the next point release of every supported
 tor version. (Much like we update GeoIP.)

 That's something I can do, but for redundancy, we should also notify nickm
 as the Core Tor lead.
