Comment(by nickm):

 Hrm.  I was thinking that we probably wanted to make authorities more
 reluctant to use any consensus they hadn't signed themselves, and prefer
 using a non-fresh consensus to a non-signed-by-us consensus, and prefer
 that to a non-live consensus.

 But now I can't remember why.  Absent a compelling reason, making this
 "valid_until" is probably ok.
