Comment (by iwakeh):

 So far, this wasn't a problem of metrics-lib, which parsed the recent
 pearl-version descriptors fine, but the API using clients' problem, e.g.,
 Onionoo relied on 'uptime', which is not required.
 Thus, this should be a general 'Metrics' issue and not metrics-lib.
 Changing the component.

 The new API for metrics-lib should also prevent such errors as in #24012,
 still having a wider variety of descriptors will surely improve code
 quality.
