Wouldn't it be better to monitor the reason for a drop in uptime? In case at the same time a restart occurs the version increases it might be given the HSdir flag again?

Can't see why, for example the Debian /etc/init.d/tor script, couldn't send tor a flag telling it that this is a restart, causing tor to save/restore its uptime information. Circuits auto-reconnect if the downtime is short enough, right?

$0 stop -saveuptimeinfo $UPTIMEFILE sleep 1 $0 start -restoreuptimeinfo $UPTIMEFILE

Not losing my flags would at least make me upgrade tor more frequently.
