Comment:

 Oh hey, this is some bad code.  In directory_post_to_dirservers, we do:

 {{{
       post_via_tor = purpose_needs_anonymity(dir_purpose, router_purpose)
 ||
         !fascist_firewall_allows_address_dir(&ds_addr, ds->dir_port);
       directory_initiate_command_routerstatus(rs, dir_purpose,
                                               router_purpose,
                                               post_via_tor,
                                               NULL, payload, upload_len,
 0);
 }}}

 But note that the 4th argument to
 `directory_initiate_command_routerstatus` is not a boolean; it's a
 dir_indirection_t.  So the possible values are DIRIND_ANON and
 DIRIND_ONEHOP.

 Later, in directory_command_should_use_begindir(), some DIRIND_ONEHOP
 values turn into DIRIND_DIRECT, if directory_fetches_from_authorities() is
 true.

 This could be far more broken than it is.  Writing a patch.
