Please wait with enabling ExitPortStatistics and ExtraInfoStatistics
until 0.2.2.19 is out. We found a bug that prevents very fast relays
reporting these statistics from generating and uploading a descriptor.
The result was that two of the blutmagies were offline for a few days.
The bugfix will be contained in 0.2.2.19.
