[tor-relays] Node families and guard flags

[Markus Koch]

I think he meant that it will not get the flag the same time. I set up
some relays and the "lifetime of a relay" is a nice indicator but
relays behave different. One relay needed 14 days to be stable and I
am 100% sure that the server and network was online 24/7. Just wait
and see :)
