Thanks! Looks better!

I think we are reaching the point that we need good simulations and actually
running and stepping through the algorithm with actual data to find issues and
suboptimalities. And maybe we also need to get a third person familiar with
guards to review it.

BTW, I noticed you removed the "we received a new consensus" part. That's fine
for now, but I think it should be added back at some point maybe as a separate
event. I like the work done by rjunior and chelsea here:
       https://gist.github.com/chelseakomlo/2acbe15314b5a809c6f4
and I think the events described are quite close to the Tor networking API. So
it might be worth having this algorithm mirror that event structure.
