Comment:

 That patch will trigger this code for all non-authorities:
 {{{
   if (options->DisableV2DirectoryInfo_ && ! authdir_mode(options)) {
     REJECT("DisableV2DirectoryInfo_ set, but we aren't an authority.");
   }
 }}}
 so, please do not merge :)

 Nick, what would you think about a more comprehensive patch that rips out
 the v2 directory stuff? Is that an 0.2.5 thing or an 0.2.6 thing?

 (Since there aren't that many authorities, I don't think it's so critical
 to have an easily configurable "oops we'd better turn that on" option. If
 for some reason we end up changing our mind down the road, we can get
 patches to the directory authorities operators quickly enough.)
