Comment(by mikeperry):
Understood. I think 2 months will likely cause us enough load-balancing
pain that we'll want to fix the underlying load balancing problem in
0.2.5.x anyway. I think I also want to work on a few performance problems
in 0.2.5.x, and flag-weights are included in that. I've created #8453 to
remind me of the flag-weight changes.
Also for the record, I am made slightly nervous about increasing the Guard
node duration to insane levels until we also reduce the amount of
influence a Guard's identity key allows over your paths. Hopefully that
can also be improved/solved in 0.2.5.x. (I don't like the idea that Guard
lifetime might considerably exceed a predecessor attack that is designed
to find your Guards and exploit/coerce/corrupt them).
