Comment (by arma):

 Another option is to redesign the logic to be cleaner, and keep an intro
 point failure cache. It seems like every time we encounter this "we keep
 state about the previous hs desc by keeping a copy of it, and then seeing
 if the new one is different, get it?" logic, somebody finds it confusing.
 Maybe now is a good time for it to die? :)
