+ o Minor features (future-proofing):
+
+ - Tor no longer refuses to download microdescriptors or descriptors if
+ they are listed as "published in the future". This change will
+ eventually allow us to stop listing meaningful "published" dates
+ in microdescriptor consensuses, and thereby allow us to reduce the
+ resources required to download consensus diffs by over 50%.
+ Implements part of ticket 21642; implements part of proposal 275.
