No, it's ok to be up only some of the time. Most of the question is
what fraction of total time you're up ("weighted fractional uptime"),
not how long you're up before restarts ("mean time between failure",
which is used for calculating the Stable flag).
Or said another way, the more time you miss, the fewer clients will pick
you -- it has to do with whether you are in the set of possible choices
at the moment when they decide to get rid of a current guard from their
list and replace it.
