Comment (by atagar):

 > In #16774, we added the fallback directories to GETINFO defaults. Tor
 0.2.8.1-alpha and later should be able to tell stem the fallback
 directories this way as well.

 That's fine. But this implementation doesn't require an active tor
 instance. For DocTor and other scripts dealing with descriptors having a
 tor process is an unnecessary hassle.

 > That's not good, can doctor please report any fallback directories that
 take a relatively long amount of time to serve a consensus (like doctor
 does for the authorities), and report any that take more than 10 seconds?

 I doubt Nick wants a ticket every time a fallback directory is sluggish.
 If you're interested in avoiding slow fallback directories any reason not
 to simply run the script I gave above when picking them?
