Comment (by arma):

 One part of me is thinking that when we get done with all the "one guard
 to rule them all" tickets, we'll be bottlenecking on our one guard for
 directory fetches, and this ticket will become moot, so if we can just
 wait it out, we can close with wontfix.

 Another part of me is remembering the lesson from #18963, where we decided
 that wherever we just fetched the consensus from, that's the perfect place
 to fetch the certificates from, because we know it works and we already
 have an established tls conn to it. Would it be totally crazy, when you
 just fetched the consensus and certs from a fallbackdir or the like, to
 just go ahead and fetch the microdescs from that relay too?
