Comment (by atagar):

 > Does stem use the descriptor.digest field for anything internally?

 Don't think so. Not thinking of any internal use.

 > If FetchUselessDescriptors is enabled then that behaviour is wrong I
 think

 Gotcha. So just to be clear tor does the following?

 {{{
 if 'GETCONF FetchUselessDescriptors' == '1' or 'GETCONF
 UseMicrodescriptors' == '0'
   return plain router status entries for 'GETINFO ns/all'
 else
   return mirodescriptor router status entries for 'GETINFO ns/all'
 }}}

 If so then I'll change stem to reflect that (... maybe we should have a
 GETINFO method for 'tell me the type of router status entries tor will
 give?).
