Comment(by arma):

 In general I agree with you about moving warns to protocol-warns if
 there's nothing the operator can do about it. But in the case you raise
 this is a warning at a hidden service. It's quite possible that hidden
 service was legitimately under some sort of protocol-level attack. If you
 get a lot of these as a hidden service operator, you really should
 consider turning off your hidden service, investigating, etc.

 Maybe that's what the log message should tell them to do?
