 Replying to [comment:43 asn]:
 > Thanks for the updates David! Only a single nit remains on the GH (and
 maybe also open the tokenbucket ticket so that we don't forget?).

 Fixed.

 New ticket: #31062

 >
 > As a further thing: I lost track of the experimental results of this
 ticket when I went to AllHands. I now don't rememember exactly how this
 ticket affects (a) the health of the network and (b) the availability of
 the service. Any chance you could update us on these two thigns in the
 tor-dev mailing list? I think it would be great to have this documented so
 that we know what exactly we are doing by merging this patch.

 Yes I can do this!

 With #30924, we'll have a more complete feature and we should at that
 point probably blog post this entire new defense and how to leverage it.
