+    * One concrete example of a very dangerous race that could occur:
+    *
+    * Suppose that the client supports protocols "HsDir=1-2" and the consensus
+    * requires protocols "HsDir=1-2.  If the client supported protocol list is
+    * then changed to "HSDir=2", while the consensus stills lists "HSDir=1-2",
+    * then these clients, even very recent ones, will shut down because they
+    * don't support "HSDir=1".
+    *
+    * And so, changes need to be done in strict sequence as described above.
