Comment (by teor):
Thanks for the bug reports, but they aren't really helping us make
progress on this issue.
We know that tor needs some design changes to resolve this issue:
Replying to [comment:93 teor]:
> #16844 and #21969 have conflicting goals, so we need to write a proposal
that balances these goals. See #30817.
In particular, tor needs to try harder to download descriptors if it has a
good link, but backoff if it has a bad link, so that at least some
descriptors can download. We don't know which case applies to your tor
instance, because you only sent us 1 second worth of logs.
If you'd like, we can make a ticket that delays those annoying logs until
tor has been missing descriptors for an hour or so.
That is a simple change, it will stop annoying relay operators, and it
might get us better diagnostics.
