 Spec files don't say it must be stored in disk. It may be also in tor RAM
 memory.

 microdescriptor, but this doesn't look correct. "Full" descriptors, which
 can be learnt separately by `desc/id/FINGERPRINT` or all together by `desc
 /all-recent`, don't contain final bandwidth and relay flags that
 "microdescriptor" has.

 Yes, I was wrong. Instead of microdescriptor I had to use something like
 "network consensus".
