 This ticket came out of the solution for #2709.

 One of our original goals with the "uptime > 24 hours" constraint for
 hsdir flag assignment was to make sure that the hsdir flag assignment was
 quite robust over time: a hidden service needs to store its descriptor in
 the place that a client will fetch it hours later.

 Uptime is quite monotonic -- for a relay that stays up. How monotonic is
 the rephist-calculated uptime?
