Comment (by zooko):

 So perhaps for v1.8.0 we would add a new method called something like
 {{{get_buckets_data()}}} which implements the stateless interface, like
 [source:src/allmydata/interfaces.py at 4410#L165 slot_readv()]. Then new
 downloaders could use that, perhaps invoking that on the first {{{K}}}
 servers that they know of which support it, and invoking
 {{{get_buckets()}}} on the remaining {{{N-K}}} servers which they will
 need to use only if some of the first {{{K}}} servers fail.
