 After discussion with developers and tor-dev@ thread here
 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-December/011725.html,
 implementing consensus parameters to control some portion of the protocol.
 What comes to mind:

 - Default number of introduction points and maximum number
 - Timeframe and number of introduce before rotating an intro point.
 - Descriptor lifetime.
 - How many HSDir for a descriptor
 - Rendezvous timeout time.

 There are probably more.
