Comment (by teor):

 Some more thoughts:

 If we make the validity until time later, then we split the anonymity set
 for clients:
 * With the current schedule, most clients have one of two possible non-
 fresh but valid consensuses.
 * If we lengthened the valid-but-not-fresh interval to n, they would have
 1 of n possible consensuses.

 Perhaps we could double (or scale up) all the times?
 * Then clients would have one of two possible consensuses, but those
 consensuses would have a larger delta.
