 People in IRC yesterday were wondering what causes HS circuits to fail if
 the clocks of both parties are not synchronized. Apparently HS circuits
 should work even with desynchronized clocks these days.

 There was disagreement about that, and Roger suggested writing a
 regression test to make sure that if HSes don't need time synchronization
 right now they will keep on working without it in the future too.

 This falls under the larger SponsorR framework of being able to more
 easily benchmark and test Hidden Services.
