+- **An addr-fetch session keeps the addresses it asked for.** The `getaddr`
+  reply from an addr-fetch peer (the `--proxy` DNS seeds, `-seednode`) was
+  dropped before AddrMan and scored as misbehavior. As in Core, the
+  `getaddr` now buys `MAX_ADDR_TO_SEND` more tokens, the reply (`addrv2` or
+  v1 `addr`) is learned and not relayed, and more than one address ends the
+  session with a plain disconnect.
