Can't see why, for example the Debian /etc/init.d/tor script, couldn't
send tor a flag telling it that this is a restart, causing tor to
save/restore its uptime information. Circuits auto-reconnect if the
downtime is short enough, right?

  restart)
        check_config

        $0 stop -saveuptimeinfo $UPTIMEFILE
        sleep 1
        $0 start -restoreuptimeinfo $UPTIMEFILE

Not losing my flags would at least make me upgrade tor more frequently.
