Comment(by nextgens):

 So, my point number 2 in the original report is incorrect and should read:

 2) security: It has implications regarding PFS (the key material
 encrypting the ticket is ephemeral but might be swapped out to disk) and
 exposes more attack surface than strictly necessary (Tor doesn't use the
 tickets in any case)

 The PFS interval is not linked to MAX_SSL_KEY_LIFETIME_INTERNAL at all.
