 Tor has ignored a rendezvous circuit's `timestamp_dirty` field when
 choosing whether to attach a new stream to it since hidden services were
 first implemented in version 0.0.6, but this became a Bad Thing when
 `SIGNAL NEWNYM` was added in 0.1.1.15-rc (and implemented (uglily) by
 decreasing `timestamp_dirty` by a large amount, to make previously used
 circuits seem ‘too old’ for new streams).
