Comment (by asn):

 Some notes:

 To reduce the number of guard nodes I should look into
 `decide_num_guards()`. To increase the rotation period I should look into
 `MIN_GUARD_LIFETIME` et al. or play with the `GuardLifetime` consensus
 parameter on the authority side.

 Also, what about directory guards?
