New description:

 We need to regenerate the fallback directory mirror list in 0.2.9 in case
 any of the 0.2.8 fallbacks have changed details or gone down.

 This should not require another opt-in mailout, as we had ~70 additional
 fallbacks in 0.2.8 that were suitable but not selected.

 We should also:
 * restore the 120 day stability period and 99% uptime requirement that
 were reduced in 0.2.8 due to #18050
 * check the bandwdith range in the script's generated C comments
 * check the IP version, netblock, port, and Exit flag proportions in the
 script's stderr output

 Over the longer term, we could:
 * reconsider whether to allow 2 fallbacks per operator (contact, family),
 while keeping 1 per IP
 * decide whether to change to an opt-out system, where we includes
 fallbacks unless operators specifically opt-out
