> Such research questions could be:
> * Is 6 HSDirs the best number of HSDirs?
> * How long should HSDirs cache descriptors?
We may be able to answer these questions using PrivCount HSDir statistics
(late 2017).
> * Are IPs stable or are they subject to churn? How often do HSes change
IPs?

the next iteration of the protocol, coming in 2018.
> * Do we want more preemptive circuits on hidden services?
> * Do hidden services fail easily because their sole guard fails?
