-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 People keep asking about the precise meaning of relay bandwidths. We
 should make the spec clearer:

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/dir-spec.txt#n424

 In particular:
 * there is a separate limit on inbound and outbound traffic
 * traffic includes origin circuits and BEGINDIR requests
 * let's check if traffic includes DirPort, I think it would have to

 There may also be more feedback in #25854.

 I'm tagging this fast-fix, because I can fix it fast, and it will save me
 time when I next explain it.
