Comment (by nickm):

 So, it appears that the lead offenders here are the ones running 0.2.5 and
 earlier.  That's good.  The answer here is probably to just those IPs if
 they're being annoying.

 On the other hand, it seems that some Tors running versions with the
 #22885 fix of 7f329206488cf84 are still sometimes sending descriptors with
 no reasons.  That's bad; I thought we fixed that.
