Changes (by mikeperry):

  * status:  needs_review => needs_revision


Comment:

 *sigh* Let me try this again.

 I think it's a bad idea to change this minimum in a way that we cannot
 quickly correct later, given that there are current known load balancing
 issues with the existing Guard rotation duration that will be made worse
 by this change. Raising the compiled-in value without consensus parameter
 support does exactly this.

 Please don't let Debian's squeamishness mess up our load balancing without
 the ability to recover or experiment with it.
