Comment (by naif):

 What if can became HSDir only Tor Relay:
 - that are part of a Family of at least X nodes
 - that have an uptime of at least Y months
 - that are pushing at least K MBit/s of traffic

 The "Big families" of Tor Relay are all run by "known" and "trustable"
 organizations (TorServers-alike).

 The "Big families" of Tor Relay are clearly visible in the consensus, they
 cannot just start to exists from one day to another one without being
 noticed.

 By using that approach the HSDir will be de-facto managed only by
 "Organizations that contribute to Tor network", that can be identified.

 No easy rough or "hidden" nodes will be able to became HSDir.
