> We need the guardfraction feature (or something like it) less since we
have backed off from infinite guard lifetimes, but I don't think the need
is now zero.
I think this is right.
But when considering the guardfraction feature, we should think not just
about the code on the Tor side, but also about what feels to the dir auths
like yet another pile of abandonware crap that they're going to be asked
to run and maintain forever.
So, if we're thinking about the feature's future, let's not underweight
the importance of the external portion of the tool too.
