    Require fallbacks to have 90% Running, V2Dir, and Guard flags
    
    This allows 73% of clients to bootstrap in the first 5 seconds without
    contacting an authority.
    
    Part of #18828.

       Closes ticket 20878.
     - Require fallback directories to have the same address and port for
-      4 months. (4 months is a tradeoff between the expected time between
-      major Tor releases, which is 6 months, and the number of relays with
-      enough stability.) Relays whose OnionOO stability timer is reset on
-      restart by bug 18050 should upgrade to Tor 0.2.8.7 or later, which has
-      a fix for this issue.
-      Closes ticket 20880; removes short-term fix in e220214 in
+      7 dayss. (Due to the number of relays with enough stability.) Relays
+      whose OnionOO stability timer is reset on restart by bug 18050 should
+      upgrade to Tor 0.2.8.7 or later, which has a fix for this issue.
+      Closes ticket 20880; maintains short-term fix in e220214 in
       tor-0.2.8.2-alpha.
     - Make it easier to change the output sort order of fallbacks.
       Closes ticket 20822.
