 > "Load on authorities" is not the point anymore because we don't use V0
 since 0.2.2.1-alpha. Thus I think it's safe to drop it back to at least 5s
 (3s?) for all services. Or even remove it at all?

 I think ideally any such change should be accompanied by a prop224 patch.
 It would be great if someone added a section to prop224 specifying this
 behavior, and made a [tor-dev] thread introducing the patch.
