These updates assume that the changes were intentional and permanent.
The operators were emailed to confirm.

Whitelist a fallback's new IPv6 address
The IPv4-only entry will be used for 0.2.8.
The IPv4 and IPv6 entry will be considered in 0.2.9.

Remove and blacklist 4 fallbacks which are unsuitable
Remove a fallback that changed its fingerprint after it was listed
This happened after to a software update:
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2016-June/009473.html

Remove a fallback that changed IPv4 address

Remove two fallbacks that were slow to deliver consensuses,
we can't guarantee they'll be fast in future.

Blacklist all these fallbacks until operators confirm they're stable.

Update the fallback whitelist and blacklist
Operators have sent emails asking to have their relays added or
removed from the fallback list. Since none of the blacklisted
relays are in the hard-coded falback list, it does not need to
be changed.

8b90d45f78 Add fallbacks to white/blacklist from operator responses
Also add misbehaving relays to updateFallbackDirs.py blacklist,
but leave them commented out in case it's a transient issue,
or it's been resolved by the download check fixes. (These
relays hang stem's downloader. It's unlikely they'll ever help
clients.)

e2202146d1 Update default fallback directories for 0.2.8.2-alpha (Feb 2016)
Allow fallback directories which have been stable for 7 days
to work around #18050, which causes relays to submit descriptors
with 0 DirPorts when restarted. (Particularly during Tor version
upgrades.)

Ignore low fallback directory count in alpha builds.
Set the target count to 50.

ab3c86479a Add default fallback directories for the 0.2.8 alpha releases
Allow fallback directories which have been stable for 30 days
to work around #18050, which causes relays to submit descriptors
with 0 DirPorts when restarted. (Particularly during Tor version
upgrades.)

Ignore low fallback directory count in alpha builds.

4c1c2a313d Add Fallback Directory Candidate Selection Script
"Tor has included a feature to fetch the initial consensus from nodes
 other than the authorities for a while now. We just haven't shipped a
 list of alternate locations for clients to go to yet.

 Reasons why we might want to ship tor with a list of additional places
 where clients can find the consensus is that it makes authority
 reachability and BW less important.

 We want them to have been around and using their current key, address,
 and port for a while now (120 days), and have been running, a guard,
 and a v2 directory mirror for most of that time."

Features:
* whitelist and blacklist for an opt-in/opt-out trial.
* excludes BadExits, tor versions that aren't recommended, and low
  consensus weight directory mirrors.
* reduces the weighting of Exits to avoid overloading them.
* places limits on the weight of any one fallback.
* includes an IPv6 address and orport for each FallbackDir, as
  implemented in #17327. (Tor won't bootstrap using IPv6 fallbacks
  until #17840 is merged.)
* generated output includes timestamps & Onionoo URL for traceability.
* unit test ensures that we successfully load all included default
  fallback directories.

Closes ticket #15775. Patch by "teor".
OnionOO script by "weasel", "teor", "gsathya", and "karsten".
