Comment (by nickm):

 Actually, it looks like the required router change is made in 0.4.0.1-as
 well: routers use prop293 to know when to publish, and _do_ recognize
 StaleSesc and so they will tolerate the change to publication time in
 consensus directories.

 The remaining change is for authorities to set the published date in
 consensuses to the far future.  They shouldn't do that, however, until a
 majority of the network is on 0.4.0.1-alpha or later, or until we backport
 the relay part of #26770.
