> @twim, yeah you'll need a Gitlab account, sorry about that but it's
worth it. If you had more commit, I can add them to that branch so we
don't lose our discussion.
Sure, I prefer to move review-specific code to something ephemeral to not
litter trac.
> Removing `proposal-needed?` as we don't define upload delays in the
specification only time period HOWEVER I found this in rend-spec.txt:
> {{{
> When uploading descriptors, the hidden service needs to make sure
that
> descriptors for different clients are not uploaded at the same time
(cf.
> Section 1.1) which is also a limiting factor for the number of
clients.

Sure, it's really important and somehow I forgot about it. I think there
should be some __short__ random initial delay __only for on-disk
services__ since they are being started at the same time (note that this
code doesn't actually work now). I'll soon update my branch.
The delay for hiding startup time has different purpose and should be
treated separately (see #20262 and my branch `obfuscate-startup-time`).
