     - Use "If-Modified-Since" to avoid retrieving consensus networkstatuses
       that we already have.
     - When we have no consensus, check FallbackNetworkstatusFile (defaults
       to $PREFIX/share/tor/fallback-consensus) for a consensus.  This way
       we start knowing some directory caches.
     - When we receive a consensus from the future, warn about skew.

-      how skewed they are, and how much this matters.
