Comment (by teor):

 And the trifecta:

 #20839 is a subtle bug in full descriptor validation which was exposed by
 this change.
 It mainly affects clients with FetchUselessDescriptors 1.
 But it also could cause authorities and mirrors to consider all
 descriptors old or failed.
 And it might also cause issues with caching them, working out when to
 discard them as old, and serving them over either the control port or
 DirPort.
