o Minor features (fallback directories):
- Select 200 fallback directories for each release.
Closes ticket 20881.
- Provide bandwidth and consensus weight for each candidate fallback in
updateFallbackDirs.py.
Closes ticket 20878.
- Require fallback directories to have the same address and port for
7 dayss. (Due to the number of relays with enough stability.) Relays
whose OnionOO stability timer is reset on restart by bug 18050 should
upgrade to Tor 0.2.8.7 or later, which has a fix for this issue.
Closes ticket 20880; maintains short-term fix in e220214 in
tor-0.2.8.2-alpha.
- Make it easier to change the output sort order of fallbacks.
Closes ticket 20822.

- Exclude relays affected by 20499 from the fallback list. Exclude known
affected versions, and any relay that delivers a stale consensus.
Closes ticket 20539.
- Require fallbacks to have flags for 90% of the time (weighted decaying
average), rather than 95%. This allows at least 73% of clients to
bootstrap in the first 5 seconds without contacting an authority.
Part of ticket 18828.
- Display the fingerprint when downloading consensuses from fallbacks.
Closes ticket 20908.
- Allow 3 fallbacks per operator. (This is safe now we are choosing 200
fallbacks.) Closes ticket 20912.
o Minor bugfix (fallback directories):
- Stop failing when OUTPUT_COMMENTS is True in updateFallbackDirs.py.
Closes ticket 20877; bugfix on commit 9998343 in tor-0.2.8.3-alpha.
