 20:02 < nickm> rransom: I'm hoping to understand what you mean by the last
                sentence of your latest comment on #2732
 20:02 < nickm> what's probably a bad design, and why?
 20:03 < nickm> or maybe I should just comment there
 20:03 < rransom> Only accepting HS descriptors if a relay is listed as an
 HSDir
                  is a bad design,
 20:04 < rransom> because the relay *will not* use the same consensus to
 make
                  that decision as clients will use to decide whether to
 post to
                  or fetch from a relay.
 20:04 < nickm> ok.  so instead should we forget about 2732 and instead fix
 that
                issue?
 20:04 < rransom> Probably.
 20:04 < rransom> Yes.
 20:05 < nickm>  okay if I copy-paste this onto #2732?
 20:05 < rransom> wwYes.
