Comment(by hsn):
I have experience that new relay gets Guard flag 7th day if it was never
restarted. I do not object against this - its good enough. It gets stable
flag 2 days sooner.
But if you take an older relay with 9 days of uptime, it will not get
guard or stable. That older relay had bw limit set and it was down for few
hours (about 4-6) per day before i turned off that bw limit.
Older relay was known for larger time and given exactly same conditions
(about 1 week uptime) as new relay its history is considered as
disadvantage instead of advantage. It would be more likely to be available
in future because it has longer "known" records.
Thats probably reason why 1200 relays are not guards even they could be.
