In order to have full decentralization, we cannot require that the very first validators (semux1-4) are required for syncing. Also in order to scale past a certain level, the validators cannot be connected to from every client. Currently, if semux1-4 go down (Even though they are no longer valiators) clients are unable to sync from block 0. This change allows for choosing to sync height based on active peers if UR validators are unable to be found.
