------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 Two relays started publishing descriptors every 2 minutes, and this caused
 issues for Metrics-lib:

 team/2018-February/000661.html

 Maybe it's a crashing bug in 0.3.3.1-alpha?

 In any case, we should probably restrict relays to a few (~6?) descriptors
 per hour, and enforce this limit using the state file.
