-----------------------------+--------------------------
If we have a large number of fallback directory mirrors, we could make
sure each operator only sees a small proportion of traffic by only
including one fallback per operator.
We could identify operators by:
* Contact Info
* My Family
However, this is easy to break, because it only works for operators who
correctly configure MyFamily, or use identical ContactInfo fields. (That
said, these operators can still have their machines compromised.)
As a workaround, in #17158 I modified the script to output the number of
fallbacks per ContactInfo. This will note in each fallback entry if an
operators could see a large amount of client traffic.
