Comment:

 Ok some clarification went down on IRC so here it is.

 Because of #23318, it seems that a "paranoid mode" option would be what
 the reporter of this bug wants that is an option that makes tor never pick
 a Guard that has a non empty exit policy (basically an exit node). And
 that paranoid mode would be all about avoiding that behavior in case of a
 bad bug (maybe like #23318) in tor even though tor should never do that.

 Plausible?
