Comment:

 As part of the report [https://metrics.torproject.org/papers/bridge-
 report-usage-stats-2012-04-30.pdf What fraction of our bridges are not
 reporting usage statistics?] I looked into the fraction of non-reported
 statistics due to not publishing a descriptor shortly after writing stats.
 This fraction was tiny.  It seems that we can break a lot by changing how
 Tor decides when to publish a descriptor, so it's probably safer to leave
 this alone.  Closing this ticket as wontfix.
