Comment (by 49ax56xr36):
Perhaps keep track of the time of the last validated descriptor upload
attempt when its contents are discarded as trivial? Use that time when
determining whether to age-out a relay? During the six hours when changes
are allowed the "valid attempt" timer is cleared and time from the
descriptor applied.
