Hi nusenu. This is something I've long wanted to do with Nyx, and
definitely something for long term consideration. It's a valid use
case, especially for gigabit relay families that run multiple
instances to saturate their connection. We did this, for instance,
with Amunet. But that said, not a feature for the initial release.

Think I'm gonna need to say 'patches welcome' for these. First step
would be to add them to Stem. Anything in Onionoo is easy to bring in
(it's chiefly just distilled descriptor information), but I'm not
positive about the exit/guard probabilities. Is it a simple ratio? Or
do tor clients do something more sophisticated? If it's something
simple I'd be happy to take a patch adding it to the Consensus class.
