------------------------------+--------------------------------
 In #20499, when relays reach the download failure limit, they stop
 downloading consensuses.

 I think this behaviour is desirable for relays that will never get a good
 consensus (if they are too old, for example).

 But for relays that have a temporary issue, it is really unhelpful.
 Perhaps tor should retry every few days no matter what?
