Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:4 s7r]:
 > For the `--nopass` part which I find useful we will stick with #17127 .

 ok. please adjust its description/title as it doesn't say anything about
 the --nopass except comment 6

 > For the part that Tor does not automatically renew the medium term
 signing key sufficiently valid in the future with the new
 SigningKeyLifetime value WITHOUT manually calling `--keygen`, this is
 expected and wanted behavior. The automated key renewal will be called by
 Tor when the medium term signing key it has is ABOUT to expire and it
 WANTS (or NEEDS) to generate a new medium term signing key.

 That is actually unrelated to this ticket (and I'm fine with tor's current
 behavior)
