[tor-relays] Updates removes status flags

Hi

When a tor admin updates a tor node, what is the reasoning for punishing the status by removing flags like the guard flag?

The node may have been up for months on end without issues and goes down for a few minutes during install and restart and comes up with a newer version, hence it is clearly updated. And the guard flag goes away. Doesn't seem really appropriate. Unless it's to indicate caution due to new version perhaps not being stable. But then that's what you do pre-prod testing in-house for.
