 Replying to [comment:42 nickm]:
 > The necessary client change went into 0.2.9.11.  The authority change
 went into 0.4.0.1-alpha.  The last change necessary will be to make
 routers recognize StaleDesc.  For any router that does, we can safely set
 its publication date in the future.

 Just to be clear, the remaining changes are both router changes?

 That is, the router can change its own publication date in its descriptor
 to be in the (far) future.
