+  o Minor features (directory client):
+    - When downloading server- or microdescriptors from a directory server,
+      we no longer launch multiple simultaneous requests to the same server.

+      guards are in use.  Closes ticket 9969.

+      proxy is willing to handle.  Part of ticket 9969.
