I realize we're in the middle of the Christmas / New Year dead week, but it would be great one of the developers could says something (anything) about the ongoing denial-of-service attacks.

My node crashed a second time a fews days back, and while the second iteration of hardening appears have held, I see many others crack under the stress.  If one opens a control channel and issues

   setevents extended orconn

volumes of

   650 ORCONN ... LAUNCHED ID=nnnn
   650 ORCONN ...  FAILED REASON=CONNECTREFUSED NCIRCS=x ID=nnnn

messages appear.  First I though these were operators with some new mitigation, but finally realized the relays are crashed and have not yet dropped off the consensus.
