Comment(by arma):
If we do, it shouldn't be by fetching an external web resource every n
minutes. If we do that, we will trick the Tor client into thinking it's
active, and it will never slow down on its directory requests, preemptive
circuit builds, etc.
I wrote a ticket long ago to have Tor expose "what circuit Tor would
choose if you were to make a stream right now to the following
destination" on its control port, but people didn't like it for a variety
of reasons.
