I've a few use case for onionoo data, one of them uses onionoo to find
groups of relays run by one entity. First_seen combined with
last_restarted has proven to be a rather good datapoint for that.
Using an array of all restarts (instead of just one) would likely
reduce false-positives even more. That is one field but I'll consider
(historic) changes to other fields (contactinfo, orport, dirport, ...)
as well.

Although I could imagine atlas displaying data like "these were
previously provided contact details: ..." most of my use cases are to
uncommon to add to onionoo.
