Comment(by nickm):

 Looks like a plausible idea to me.

 Do we want to be using the same MaxCircuitDirtiness for rendezvous
 circuits?  It seems that this change would make us not only abandon
 circuits on newnym, but reintroduce to any hidden service that we want to
 stay connected to every MaxCircuitDirtiness seconds (current default 10
 min, I think).

 Is changing circuit_is_acceptable sufficient?  That is, will the having
 this circuit present but non-usable cause new introduction attempts to be
 made correctly, or will new attempts to connect to the hidden service fail
 while it's around?
