This is also very useful but slightly different from what I had in mind,
because it would not trigger if dirauths upgrade from A to B in the 
same hour and most exits, guards or hsdirs are gone due to a bug in version B.

I tried to find something related to this in the 0.3.3.x changelogs
because moria1 (the affected dirauth) is the only one running tor alpha
but I didn't find anything related to a change in what is required
to earn the HSDir flag. Has there been any change related to how
HSDir is assigned that would explain that significant difference?
