Comment (by iwakeh):

 The list of exit_addresses is one more data item in onionoo's details
 documents that is depending on the current system time.  Depending on the
 current time the addresses are added or omitted to the stored collection
 (cf.

 NodeDetailsStatusUpdater]).  Could the validAfter time of the currently
 processed consensus be a replacement for the system time?
