 #28807.
 > When a tor client is bootstrapping, it does not have a consensus, so it
 does not know the bandwidth of the hard-coded authorities and fallback
 directory mirrors. It uses the hard-coded ratio, which selects fallbacks
 10x as much as authorities.
 I don't know whether it is needed (or overkill?), but, in principle,
 fallback dirs hardcoded in tor code could be accompanied by their
 respective bandwidths and other necessary parameters. So, clients will
 select fallback dirs not absolutely randomly, but proportionally to their
 bandwidth.
 > Yes please.
 #28805.
