New description:

 I have a few things I want to do to the flag-weight equations. This ticket
 will eventually be the parent ticket, but for now it's just a brain-dump:

 1. I definitely want to correct the balancing issues discussed in #8240.
 2. I might want to account for changes due to directory guards (#7757).
 3. I might want to factor in an optional Guard/Middle padding parameter.
 (#7028)
 4. I might want to factor in an estimate of hidden service traffic
 somehow.
