 * cc: asn (added)


Comment:

 Oh, we may also want to tweak the Wgx weights in the consensus for this,
 depending on the amount of padding overhead that we notice, since it will
 mean more traffic to Guard-flagged nodes but not other nodes. I'm not sure
 where asn is at with respect to updating those weights for the switch to 1
 guard node. Are those changes also on track for 0.2.7, or will they slip
 to 0.2.8?
