Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:20667 teor]:
 > Therefore, clients that want to download a full consensus have to
 explictly set `UseMicrodescriptors 0`.

 Another possibility is that we treat #20621 as a bug in the bwauthority
 documentation / configuration ("if you wanted the microdesc-flavored
 consensus, you should have asked for it explicitly"), and then we close
 out the fetchuselessdescriptors config option as deprecated and eventually
 obsolete, since its original reason for existing ("fetch info about relays
 that you know you won't use") no longer makes sense since we took those
 relays out of the consensus.
