Regarding this second difference: the introduction point (cooperating
with a corrupt middle node) could potentially try to discover the
service's guard by repeatedly breaking the circuit until it was rebuilt
through the corrupt middle node. Would it make sense to use vanguards
here, as well as on rendezvous circuits?
