 Tor (relay mode) should check once an hour if his fingerprint is included
 in the consensus and if that is not the case log a prominent error level
 entry telling the operator about the problem.

 In the past I noticed such a log but apparently it is not done every hour.

 I.e. relay dropped out of consensus >4 hours ago, but there is no log
 entry about it.

 Is HeartbeatPeriod (default 6 hours) relevant for that?
