Agree.

Im not sure that it really helps - there are still big gaps in speeds and
long delays between speed change and client notification.

But there is some mechanism around hibernation, because node is able to send
warning to directory server, that he will be hinernating in... cca 1 hour.
This is distributed to clients by classic way, so new clients know about
node's planned offline status and they dont select this node to new
circuits. I think it can be helpfull to know, how to send this signal to
directory servers manually ;).

:-D it was 5am when I wrote this email and... eh... ;).
