 > What else could we do? How about we teach Onionoo instances to detect
 when their data has become stale. In that case they could check whether
 other instances have more recent data and reply with redirects to other
 instances until their data is not stale anymore.

 This solution alleviates the admins work load (no additional scripting,
 monitoring etc. on the admin's side).  The necessary configuration
 implementation should pay attention to the decisions made in #24041.
 That's ok.

 Seems like we have an agreement on keeping the solution inside Onionoo
 avoiding pushing the task toward operation?

 If yes, the next steps would be:
 * define the redirect algorithm
 * define the configuration accordingly
 * implement the above.
