Hey there,

In the security discussion[0] it is mentioned that replaying consensuses
older than one week won't work, due to onion keys. I'm not sure this is
accurate: If I manage to do a sybil attack and get my 10 million relays
into the consensus, I could just not rotate onion keys on those relays
and use the consensus indefinitely, no? Am I confused about anything, or
was this forgotten?

Thanks for any pointers. Please CC me on replies, I'm not subscribed to
this list.

Cheers
Sebastian
