Last August I sent out proposal 149, but it never got much discussion
on this list.  (Looking at the archives, I can't find any.)  Here's
the paragraph that hasn't much been implemented:

I've read through the proposal as it exists today, and it appears to be missing something to actually do, imo. Maybe something like the next paragraph could help make things clearer?

Adjusting our time and IP address

   When we believe that our clock is skewed, we should log who told us
   so and adjust our clock accordingly. We should remember that we
   (recently) adjusted our clock, and learn whether adjusting the clock
helped at all. If it didn't help for a few times, we should warn that our clock is erratic and we cannot work correctly. For our IP address,
   we want to build two test circuits before we change our IP, to make
   sure we're really available at the new address and not available at
the old address anymore. If we're not available at the new address, we
   should warn about this problem.

I'm still not totally happy, I still wonder if there is something missing that better describes what we want to do
