Running consensus descriptors? Or is FetchUselessDescriptors currently
only about fetching non-Running descriptors?
FetchUselessDescriptors does that, and also one other thing:
{{{
int
directory_too_idle_to_fetch_descriptors(or_options_t *options, time_t now)
{
return !directory_caches_dir_info(options) &&
!options->FetchUselessDescriptors &&
rep_hist_circbuilding_dormant(now);
}
}}}
which causes update_consensus_router_descriptor_downloads() to short-
circuit if true. So, no fetching descriptors (even running ones) if you
haven't needed circuits lately.
