Comment (by asn):
We need to do something smart about this problem...
I was going to suggest we just drop the non-fatal assert of #21415 and
only check for the descriptor of the first primary guard (instead of first
two), but I actually feel I don't understand the issue well enough.
Perhaps some log messages that show the guard names that are missing
descriptor would be helpful. Also, I'm wondering why Alec's tor is not
doing any efforts in fetching the missing descriptors even over multiple
hour. Maybe we should also log our attempts for fetching descriptors that
are missing?
Another theory: Since primary guards come from `CONFIRMED_GUARDS`, there
is no guarantee that they are currently up and running. Could it be that
Alec's primary guard was offline and off the consensus at that time, so
Alec's tor couldn't even fetch the needed descriptor and proceed?
