Comment:

 Ok, arthuredelstein reviewed mikeperry/bug13766 in my Torbutton repo
 (which ensures that any circuit for which we can't find the first party
 uses an effective 10 minute circuit dirtiness timeout) and said it looked
 good and behaved fine for him. I also tested it, and verified it was
 updating the socks isolation every 10 minutes for these circs. I pushed
 that to torbutton and pushed updates to our torrc files to bump this to 2
 hours.

 In the long term, we might want to consider doing this via #15458 instead,
 to avoid keeping circuits open for so long if they are idle. That way, we
 could set this timeout to much higher than 2 hours without any impact on
 memory consumption at relays.
