There was a new line added to authority director configs, which was a response to the recent Sybil attack [1]: MinUptimeHidServDirectoryV2 96 hours
That's only 4 days, I wonder if anything else has changed.

I think something must have happened, I restarted half a dozen or so of my relays over a week ago and none of them have been given the HSDir flag, which if I remember rightly is a 21 hour flag? I may be mistaken but, I would have expected that flag to be back with over a week of uptime.
It used to be a 25 hour flag. 1 day plus an additional hour.
I think (yes, that says I don't know) the period being longer than 24 hours had something to do with an attack to get relays under adversary control in the right position to become a HSDir for some hidden-services. If one pays for a relays by days an additional hour is an additional day for an attacker.
I may have missed something, but maybe it was raised.
I do remember that changes to Guards took place, like requiring them to have more bandwidth and to reducing the number of Guards clients would use. This was due to research.
