 I have updated my branch dir-list at
 ​https://github.com/teor2345/torspec.git

 The list of changes is here:
 https://github.com/teor2345/torspec/commits/dir-list

 I have asked for feedback on tor-dev:

 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2018-January/012784.html

 I have split the other tasks off into tickets:

 > * create a script that generates the authority format from the
 authorities in the current consensus
 >   * apply address overrides
 >   * make sure the details match the current list
 >   * check that all supported Tor versions can parse the list (existing
 unit tests)

 #24851

 > * update the fallback script to generate the new format, and increment
 the version
 >   * modify the structure of the current list, but not the content
 >   * check that all supported Tor versions (0.2.9 and later) can parse
 the list (existing unit tests)

 #24852

 backport the new authority and fallback files

 #24853
