Comment (by atagar):

 Hi teor, interesting idea. In Stem I could provide a higher level 'Relay'
 class that lazy loads whatever descriptors it needs to get commonly
 desired data (exit policy, contact info, etc). This would need to be based
 on stem.descriptor.remote (the controller interface relies too much on
 caching and the client's torrc to be reliable).

 Honestly I wonder if we should rethink our dir-spec more fundamentally.
 It's grown organically and honestly the myriad of documents is more
 confusing than it probably needs to be.
