-----------------------------------+-----------------------------
Long ago, there was a bug in tor that broke compressed downloads provided
via the DirPort (#11648). The fix went into 0.2.5, so we can safely
assume that all directory authorities have upgraded and don't have this
bug anymore. Two separate checks have confirmed that fetching compressed
descriptors works without issues. We should change the default to save
everybody's bandwidth.
Trivial patch:
