 On #5343, Mike notes that he doesn't like the 1/3 threshold for having
 sufficient exit nodes to build circuits.

 Arguably, this threshold (and the other threshold changed in #3196) should
 be consensus parameters too.

 Arguably, there should also (or instead?) be a minimum threshold by
 weight.

 I'm marking this for 0.2.4.x, but it's likely to be very backportable.
