 According to `rend-spec.txt`:
 {{{
    When uploading descriptors, the hidden service needs to make sure that
    descriptors for different clients are not uploaded at the same time
 (cf.
    Section 1.1) which is also a limiting factor for the number of clients.
 }}}

 At the moment it's unclear how it should be implemented and why.

   * What is the threat model here?
   * How exactly descriptors should be uploaded?
   * In what range delays should be set?
   * How this will work along with absent delays after #20082?
