Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:23 femme]:
 > Has there been any further development in this area? #17739 was merged
 and so the clock skew code should be somewhat consistent but it still uses
 the date header

 No, Tor uses both the date header and NETINFO cells to trigger CLOCK_SKEW
 events.

 > and the related ticket #17728 was removed from the milestone.

 Early aborts on authority connections (to check the time, but avoid
 downloading directory documents from them) are irrelevant to how Tor
 exports the clock skew to applications.
