Comment (by virgil):

 If an Onionoo is allowed to skip some consensuses, doesn't that mean the
 family UUIDs must be a function of *solely* the most recent consensus?

 Not to say that's impossible, but that's a huge constraint.

 Another solution would be that the UUID is a function of the last $k$
 consensuses.  And for an Onionoo server to update the family, it must have
 the a k-length sequence of consecutive consensuses.
