2.1.0 - Adds a source list comment to the header.
+1.4. Future Plans
+
+ Tor also has an auth_dirs.inc file, but it is not yet in this format.
+ Tor uses slightly different formats for authorities and fallback
+ directory mirrors, so we will need to make some changes to tor so that

+ We want to add a torrc option so operators can opt-in their relays as
+ fallback directory mirrors. This gives us a signed opt-in confirmation.
