Comment:

 There is currently no way to disable the HSDir flag on a relay using that
 relay's torrc file.

 In the current master branch:
 * HidServDirectoryV2 is declared in config.c as
 `OBSOLETE("HidServDirectoryV2"),`.
 * HidServDirectoryV2 is not used anywhere else in the code.
 * The man page paragraph for HidServDirectoryV2 is out of date, and still
 describes the option as if it is effective. (That paragraph should be
 deleted.)

 Given that HidServDirectoryV2 is an obsolete option, we can't have it
 override HiddenServiceStatistics.

 To fix the issue that was reported:
 Please set HiddenServiceStatistics 0 to disable HiddenServiceStatistics.

 To fix the documentation issue:
 Delete the paragraph for HidServDirectoryV2 from the tor manual page.
