 Replying to [comment:3 irl]:
 > Perhaps the easiest solution is to have Onionoo instances die if their
 data has become stale. We should make sure that in this case, Varnish then
 automatically stops routing requests to that instance and instead routes
 to another live instance (this is not stale).

 While being simple, this solution has a major disadvantage: what if all
 Onionoo instances receive stale data as input and each of them decides for
 itself that they should rather shut down? Hmm.
