Comment (by nickm):

 In `directory_command_should_use_begindir()`, where we decide whether we
 should use begindir, we knock every connection down to not using begindir
 if !directory_must_use_begindir.

 Suggested short-term fix for 0.2.8: we should replace the check in
 max_dl_per_request() with "if directory_must_use_begindir".
