> The following may be relevant for this ticket. I don't think we have to
have full duplicates for `ControlPort` commands because it confuses users.
But removing duplicates breaks old code, so we need to be careful when we
do that. If you want to remove this duplicate, please open a separate
ticket.
> Now `GETINFO` commands `dir/server/all` and `desc/all-recent` return
identical outputs if `UseMicrodescriptors` is set to 0. Which if these
commands should be preferred if needed?
I don't know. If they return identical outputs for all Tor options, then
it literally doesn't matter which one you use. If their outputs change
when Tor's options change, then use the one that works for your code when
the options change.
They are implemented differently, so dir/server/all might be more memory
efficient in some cases.
You can also use md/all if you want microdescriptors, but only on Tor
0.3.5.1-alpha and later.
