------------------------------+--------------------------------
 In Tor 0.3.0 (or earlier?), we made clients use microdescriptors by
 default. This changes the format of NS_CONTROL_PORT routerstatus lines,
 which breaks pytorctl, and therefore the bandwidth authorities.

 Apparently, this issue can be resolved by setting UseMicrodescriptors 0 or
 using 0.2.9.
