 tor26 is getting clobbered by, among other things, the fact that it's the
 lone last v1 dir auth.

 I think that means clients of certain versions (which ones?) still publish
 their v0 hidden service descriptor to it, and still try to fetch a v0
 hidserv desc from it. Including all the circuit extends involved in doing
 those fetches privately.

 We should discourage people from using it as a v1 authority, or a v0
 hidserv authority.

 We could take the 'v1' out of its stanza in config.c, in 0.2.2 and 0.2.3.
 But, would that do much good?
