Comment:

 We came up with a simple ratcheted implementation in
 tor_gettimeofday_cached_monotonic. Doing the right thing here will be a
 bit tricky, given how we need to cache times here too, so I think we're
 okay deferring to 0.2.6.

 (For an overview of how complicated the right thing is here, peruse
 Libevent's https://github.com/libevent/libevent/blob/master/evutil_time.c
 )
