Because, say, i change from guard to (possible) exit. it maybe stays an
entry node for those who "have" it and doesn't serve as an exit as much
as it could. The tor net is probably more in need of exits that guards.
And I don't know if similar mechanisms exist in a non-guard case. It's
just speculation.
