Comment (by asn):

 BTW here is an example of a thing that might go bad (and the suggested
 tests above would not catch):

 `get_voting_interval()` and `hs_get_time_period_num()` all use
 `networkstatus_get_live_consensus()` and are used both by clients and
 services in multiple places. If a live consensus is not found those
 functions have an alternative behavior, and if we do the suggested change
 here we could be using this alternative behavior more frequently. We
 should make sure that this won't cause any reachability issues.
