+Title: Base "Stable" Flag on Mean Time Between Failures

+
+Overview:
+
+   This document proposes that we change how directory authorities set the
+   stability flag from inspection of routers declared Uptime to the
+   authorities' perceived mean time between failure for the router.
+
+Motivation:
+
+   Clients prefer nodes that the authorities call Stable.  This flags are (as
+   of 0.2.0.0-alpha-dev) set entirely based on the nodes' declared values for
+   uptime.  This creates an opportunity for malicious nodes to declare
+   falsely high uptimes in order to get more traffic.
+
+Spec changes:
+
+   Instead of setting the current rule for setting the Stable flag:
+
+   "An authority should call a server Stable if its observed MTBF for
+   the past month is at or above the median MTBF for Valid servers.
+
+   MTBF shall be defined as the mean length of the runs observed by a
+   given directory authority.  A run begins when an authority decides
+   that the server is Running, and ends when the authority decides that
+   the server is not Running.  In-progress runs are counted when
+   measuring MTBF."
+
+Issues:
+
+   How do you define a clipped MTBF?  If the current month begins with one
+   day at the end of a one-year uptime, and then has 29 days of uptime, do we
+   average one day and 29 days?  Or do we average one year and 29 days?  Or
+   take 29 days on its own and discard the year?
+
+   Surely somebody has done this kinds of thing before.
