the profile, we can move to have an address set instead" gets resolved too
because it is just one thing we are checking.

when we ask "is this address a dirauth?", we should NOT get a
probabilistic answer which is what the `address_set` does unfortunately.
Are you sure here? We never get false negatives; only false positives.
When we're asking "is address a dirauth" it's not so bad if we
accidentally allow a tiny fraction of non-dirauths; only if we
accidentally block a dirauth.
