Changes (by nickm):

  * status:  new => needs_review


Comment:

 So, I think the right solution is this:

   * Revise entry_guards_prepend_from_config() to only add a random subset
 of the nodes in EntryList, if that list is too long.
   * Revise entry_guards_prepend_from_config() to try to add only the best
 nodes from EntryNodes, if that's possible.  (IOW, don't ignore Guard.)
   * Maybe, revise entry_is_live / entry_set_status so that they don't make
 quite the same exceptions when EntryGuards is set with a big big list.

 I've done the first two in a "bug2798" branch in my public repo.  Comments
 & reviews much appreciated.
