Comment (by arma):

 Another option for hack1 is to just change the hack to "if you are missing
 from the consensus, decide that the authorities forgot about you so now's
 a good time to republish". The problem with that option though is that
 each time we hit whatever bugs there are, there's a several-hour gap where
 the relay isn't used by clients. That's not ideal, but maybe it's good
 enough? Yuck.
