Hm. I meant to suggest we disable the
`TestingClientMaxIntervalWithoutRequest` delay functionality if we are
missing descs of primary guards. Aka not wait 10 mins before fetching the
primary guard descriptors.
I think perhaps you understood that I suggested we disable the "waiting
for primary guard descriptors" functionality, which was certainly not my
intention. Sorry for the non-clear wording above.
