Changes (by mikeperry):

  * status:  needs_review => needs_revision


Comment:

 There's also a NS_EXPIRY_SLOP define in main.c with a confusing comment
 that says it needs to be the same as REASONABLY_LIVE_TIME, but complains
 that the REASONABLY_LIVE_TIME value was "too high" even though they *were*
 the same.

 I also looked at some other defines we may want to consolidate or turn
 into functions of this value in my proposal:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/proposals/212-using-
 old-consensus.txt#l71

 It doesn't seem like we need to change any of them yet as they are still
 all higher than what it seemed like they needed to be if we raise this
 value, but maybe it might be worth considering cleaning them up now?
