Comment (by nickm):

 I don't think it's such a good idea to drop that code.   (This isn't v2
 descriptors, btw. It's v2-style routerstatus lines.  They aren't taken
 directly from the networkstatus; they're generated based on our opinions
 of the nodes.)

 Controller are allowed to use this info, and it's a comparatively small
 amount of code to keep it for now IMO.  I'd like to have a better node-
 status export format, but it's not trivial to drop the "v2 routerstatus"
 format right now.

 From a spec pov however, it ''would'' be nice to take just the v2
 routerstatus format, document it by comparison to the v3 routerstatus
 format, and put that in control-spec.txt or in an appendix to it, so that
 we can retire dir-spec-v2.txt.
