   * looks fine, though the comment was a little unclear to me.  I'll fix
 that though.  '''nickm''' -- clarify the comment on
 download_status_cert_init to clarify that download_status_cert_init() is
 _not_ okay to call after the first failure has occurred.

   * I'm not sure about these, because they bring back the presence of
 authorities as client enumerators.  With these patches, since every
 fallback will go down _sometimes_, every client will try an authority
 _sometimes_, and the authorities will still be able to enumerate them.
 What if, as an alternative solution, we just use a sdifferent schedule for
 certificate downloads?   Are they still really necessary with f2e9af1 ?
