Comment (by teor):

 > Also separating client guardfraction functionality from dirauth-
 guardfraction functionality is not so easy, since they both use the same
 funcs, but the latter also uses it for consensus making. So perhaps we can
 roll with the branches I posted above for now, and build on top of them
 for 034.

 Sure!

 I suggest we stop clients (and relays) calling those functions in 0.3.4.
 We can leave the functions as authority-only.
