Comment(by mikeperry):

 When I do this, I think I should also record circuit usage attempt counts
 in the state file. This means adding another field to the
 EntryGuardPathBias state file line to say how many circuit usage attempts
 there were for each guard..

 Further down the line, depending on what sort of results we see in the
 field, we then can set thresholds on these values.

 The reason to do this is because the adversary might get a bonus by
 allowing circuits to build that go unused while only failing the usage
 attempts. Since I suspect most normal clients build way more circuits than
 they actually try to use, this difference might be substantial.
