Comment (by irl):
We have reading the cached-descriptors et. al. files as a requirement for
CollecTor, to load in any descriptors we missed during unexpected
downtime, so we do need that to work.
What I was hoping to be able to do is add @downloaded-at and @source
annotations to descriptors I fetch via dir-spec before saving them to
disk. Attaching metadata to the descriptors will be useful for working out
how much we're load balancing when downloading descriptors, average times
between valid-after/published and when we first learn about the
descriptors by downloading them, and also the source metadata can be used
to prefer downloading extra-info descriptors from the authority we got the
server descriptor from (the assumption being that it's more likely to have
it on average).
There is discussion about a spec for these annotations in #28067. I would
like for these annotations to all follow the same specification.
