Comment (by catalyst):

 Hi swati, I think I agree with teor after thinking about it some more.
 Please leave RephistTrackTime alone, or move it to General Options.  Its
 content might need improvement (to make it clear that all kinds of
 entities use it), but we can do that separately.

 Replying to [comment:8 teor]:

 > RephistTrackTime is used to clean router reputation history. This
 history is used by clients, relays, and authorities (in different ways).
 See:

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/core/mainloop/mainloop.c#n1412
 >
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/core/mainloop/mainloop.c#n2008
 >
 > Authorities use it in their votes, clients and relays use it to check
 whether another relay might be up.
 >
 > So I think RephistTrackTime belongs in some sort of "common options"
 section. (Or in client options, if there isn't a common options section.)
