What this does is essentially remove the consensus time validation,
which I'm sure is there for a reason. I'd guess it's there only for
practical purposes, but I think we better ask the Tor devs if it could
enable some kind of strange attack or introduce other problems. It's
better to be safe than sorry.

Cheers!
