> If you put a relay in your EntryNodes list, Tor should never care
whether it has the Guard flag. See the code snippet from asn above where
it checks {{{routerset_contains_node(options->EntryNodes,node)}}}.
But see #22204 for a bug in the new design that prevents you from
requesting any relays for your first hop that don't have the Guard flag
right now. :(
