> What's the impact of doing/not-doing this?
In rare cases, users can accidentally enter download schedule values that
make their tor make rapid connections to fallbacks or authorities.
(That said, this may already be true of the existing config options.)
It's far more likely that users will break their tor if they modify these
options.
We have lots of these kind of config options already, and our standard
response is "then don't do that".
