Comment (by mikeperry):

 I think we should specify the number and timing schedule of how we connect
 to fallback dirs, in as much detail as the second half of this comment:
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4483#comment:45.

 I was looking through the proposals and spec for specific timing and
 connection info so that I could make sane initial choices for timeouts for
 giving on on initial TLS connections to the Tor network for probing, and
 couldn't find any..
