Comment(by mikeperry):

 athena: FYI, we've been brainstorming guard-blocking defenses in #5462.
 It's sounds like a simple thing to detect at first, but differentiating
 between guard blocking and port blocking makes it a little trickier.
 Couple that with network connectivity issues and a potentially active and
 reactive adversary, and it's something that might take a bit to get right.
 I think we've got a good start on the ideas in #5462 such that a proposal
 could be written on the 0.2.5.x timeframe, but your input would probably
 be helpful.
