Comment (by 49ax56xr36):

 Perhaps keep track of the time of the last validated descriptor upload
 attempt when its contents are discarded as trivial?  Use that time when
 determining whether to age-out a relay?  During the six hours when changes
 are allowed the "valid attempt" timer is cleared and time from the
 descriptor applied.
