Comment (by virgil):

 I hoping to find a solution here, but I'm still struggling.

 Under the suggestion to use the fingerprint of the first-seen relay,
 that's going to be different when a new Onionoo instance starts up.  For
 the newly started Onionoo instance, *all of the relays* are going to be
 "first seen".

 I see no clear way around this.  Right now the best I got (and I really
 don't like it) is simply using the largest fingerprint in the family.
 Maybe just implement Prop 242 and be done with it?  Tomorrow I'm meeting
 with SeanSaito.  Maybe we'll think of something.
