Comment:
This would be great in 0.2.9, nice to have in 0.2.8, but not essential
(the 0.2.8 behaviour without this is no worse than 0.2.7).
It's worth noting that if we don't merge this in 0.2.8, users with
blackholed fallbacks will end up downloading a consensus, but failing (or
experiencing delay) when downloading certificates. I think this is not
ideal, but it is tolerable if we don't want to add more code to 0.2.8.
