Comment (by arma):

 Also also, once the authorities are doing this new behavior, we should
 consider teaching clients to assume that all Guards are automatically able
 to be directory mirrors, so we're not stuck dragging around a consensus
 flag albatross that doesn't even refer to the current version of the
 directory protocol. :)

 (But, one step at a time.)
