Comment:

 So, incrementing ROUTER_MAX_COSMETIC_TIME_DIFFERENCE would potentially
 cause us to replace descriptors every hour for routers with one of the
 bugs that would make them publish way too frequently.  So I'm going to be
 a coward and reduce it to 3h rather than 1h.  If it really has to be 1h
 and/or we have reason to think that won't matter, please say.

 See branch bug2497 in my public repo.

 Arma, do you still think is a good idea?  Do we still think it would make
 a difference like it did 13 months ago, or did we fix enough of the
 underlying bugs that this doesn't matter any more?
