Comment:

 > These background connections use the catch-all circuit, so they are
 isolated from the content that I intentionally load, but they are lumped
 into the same circuit with each other. Are there anonymity implications
 with combining any of these background connections together on the same
 circuit?

 If 1 is true then answer(2) is yes. FPI FTW!
