Comment:

 Okay, then there are actually 3 changes I need here:

 harder:
    * We should only give this as a warning if we would expect that we
 would be listed. We would not expect to be listed if:
        * We stopped hibernating, or started running, so recently that we
 haven't had a chance to upload a new descriptor to all the authorities.
        * The consensus we have is not recent enough that we'd expect any
 uploads of ours to have taken effect.

 easy:
    * the message should explain what to do, even if it's only "look in
 your logs for other messages that might explain why"
    * a changes file
