Changes (by nickm):

 * keywords:  tor-client => tor-client intro spooling tor-dir-client
               bootstrap
 * points:   => 4
 * severity:   => Normal
 * sponsor:   => Sponsor4-can

Comment:

 I'm not sure this would actually help us bootstrap that much faster, since
 we don't build circuits until we have enough descriptors anyway.  But it
 could help some, and it could sure save memory.
