wss://relay.damus.io appears to be still dead and alive at the same time.

I think that manual maintenance of relay lists could be improved with some automation: a relay admin could sign and broadcast a notice that their relay domain (or IP, if the certificate is issued for IP) is outdated and they now recommend some other relay URIs instead (compatible with particular relay lists), so clients could read a notice and suggest replacements (ranked by latency measurements).

Or if admin has nothing to recommend, clients could suggest relay replacements based on NIP-66.
