Comment:
nickm+arma: I have a rough draft of a patch in mikeperry/bug5458, but I
have quite a few questions. They are listed in the commit message and in
the XXX's in the source, but here's a copy of my questions for easy reply
on trac:
1. The EntryGuard state file format and parsing code is extra strength
crazy sauce. Have I modified it correctly?
2. I think we should actually remove guards/bridges that exceed our
warning threshold (there's an XXX where we should do this). The question
is: how? Can I just remove them from the list? What about bridges? Will
they just get added back? Can I remove them from the user's config, or is
that too rude?
3. Did I handle bridges correctly in the first place? I think I can treat
them like guards in most cases in the code, but can I really?
4. Do I need to do anything special for 4 hop circuits/cannibalized
circuits?
