Or to turn it around, it makes it a lot easier to dump the WFU
(weighted fractional uptime, one of the components of the Guard
calculation) tracking when a relay changes AS -- we don't mess up normal
relays, and we protect users from the rare dangerous ones.

The "but that makes the IP-to-AS database a new vulnerability" issue
remains though.
