After discussing this with various knowledgeable Tor folks, the consensus seem to be that we just have to ask the user to set the time so we can bootstrap the Tor process.

May we please have the reasoning behind this conclusion?

I would still love to hear more about this => ping?
In the meantime, I did some research on my side, and it seems that ChromeOS does something very similar to DrWhax' proposal:
- https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=232066#c105
- https://codereview.chromium.org/247663003/
Sadly, most of their design docs, UI mockups etc. are apparently not accessible to non-Google employees or something, so it's not easy to understand why they did what. Still, the resulting code is there: https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?revision=266431&view=revision

The thread that starts at https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2017-December/011945.html shows that this is more urgent than we thought. Is it an option to swap this with something else that was on your (plural) roadmap for 2018?
