[tor-relays] FallbackDirectoryMirrors selection criteria "uptime"

[Martin Kepplinger <martink@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

Fallback directory mirrors [1] seem to be selected (if the need should 
arise, according
to release planning and whatnot) with criteria "uptime", among others. 
And it's only
this criteria I'm thinking about here:

Now, in the wiki we have advice on how to improve relay security, and 
among many,
there is advice to wipe the master key / identity every 1-2 years [2].

Fallback directory mirrors are *selected* based on uptime, and 
*expected* to stay up,
of course, for about at least 2 years. This somehow encourages to keep 
your identity
forever.

That's a contradiction and it might end up in *not* selecting relays, 
whos operators care
a lot about security.


thanks
