Comment (by teor):
Bug #20499 affects versions from 0.2.9.1-alpha-dev to 0.2.9.4-alpha-dev
and version 0.3.0.0-alpha-dev, so we need to exclude these versions as
fallbacks. We can't rely on the authorities to do this, as #20509 has not
been deployed to directory authorities yet.
We should also exclude authorities that can't deliver a recent microdesc
consensus, based on the script in #20501. We already download a consensus
from every authority to check download times. If we download a miscrodesc
consensus, that's what clients will be downloading. And it's slightly
faster.
