New description:
Currently, we need to use `TestingDirAuthVoteGuard *`,
`TestingDirAuthVoteExit *`, and `AssumeReachable 1` to get a test network
to bootstrap in under a minute. This is a rather blunt instrument to get
boostrap working.
The changes in #13718 and (probably) #13929 ensure that testing networks
bootstrap in 30s, without using `TestingDirAuthVoteExit *` or
`AssumeReachable 1`. This provides a comprehensive method of testing
network / exit bootstrap.
But it would be great to be able to test guard bootstrap too - perhaps by
tweaking some settings in the chutney `torrc_templates`, or perhaps by
fixing (i.e. speeding up guard flag assignment) in the implementation of
one or more of tor's `Testing...` options.
