 > Being more specific, this lower bound of 30s was introduced by commit
 b3f846b313b3cf3191e3a9a54ec1c97227393d3d which reads:

 Sorry for a typo, it's 33f846b313b3cf3191e3a9a54ec1c97227393d3d.
 Eventually I've gone wrong, it was introduced even before.

 It has jumped to 30s from 5s due to "load on authorities".

 {{{
 +  o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
 +    - Upload hidden service descriptors slightly less often, to reduce
 +      load on authorities.
 }}}

 "Load on authorities" is not the point anymore because we don't use V0
 since 0.2.2.1-alpha. Thus I think it's safe to drop it back to at least 5s
 (3s?) for all services. Or even remove it at all?
