Minimal impact in case you have no users :-).

Is there any positive case to run exit, when you hibernate often? When
you use hibernation, you probably run Tor on laptop. So it takes many
hours to propagate your node across network and you dont have any
traffic for while. Then you hibernate computer and others will fail to
connect you for next hours... But it is good way to make job for
directory servers ;-).
