Comment (by teor): Replying to [comment:10 nickm]: > Calling this merge-ready, but for 0.3.0. I predict that there will be at least one impressively weird implication of removing the server_mode() check in we_use_microdescriptors_for_circuits(). ++ I predict one weird but very minor impact: * some DirPort reachability checks will fail, because relays will occasionally choose a relay that exits to their DirPort for most of the world, but not their address * in the rare cases where this does happen, there might be a short delay to relay initial bootstrap while the relay retries another exit * this has less impact on bridges, as they don't need a DirPort * relays only do reachability checks once, just after they start, so this has no ongoing impact for running relays -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6769#comment:11> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
