Comment (by warner):

 I'd really rather not re-introduce the old representation into Foolscap:
 it is cleaner without doing that kind of parsing (foolscap no longer
 parses the location hint strings itself: the connection plugins now own
 that responsibility).

 To make older tahoes behave correctly with the latest foolscap, I'd need
 to add a hint-parser that was used for nothing but backwards
 compatibility, which would probably give weird results when used with new
 features like onion endpoints. And introduce a new attribute
 (`.locationHints2`?) that would look kinda ugly.

 This will generally be resolved by the tahoe-1.10.3 release, at which
 point the current version of Tahoe will work with all versions of Foolscap
 (at least w.r.t. this issue). Are you comfortable allowing that to be the
 resolution of this ticket? And/or WONTFIXing this one?
