 Wrt a plan: An important thing to remember for this code is that it is
 also the first round of changes for vanguards. We will have an additional
 chance to clean old crufty stuff up more when we implement the full
 vanguard algorithm in Tor (which will involve much more refactoring of the
 node selection code anyhow).
