Comment (by asn):

 Another argument for having Stable be a prerequisite of HSDir is that when
 we get the shared randomness feature, the main way for an adversary to
 camp all 6 HSDirs of an HS would be to flood the network with HSDirs. This
 is made harder if the adversary also needs to get the Stable flag, so it
 seems like this change also has long-term benefits.
