 Hello hurus. What would be your preferred response from the Tor team to
 the recent overload of the network? Just to be clear, we also don't like
 adding rate-limits and throttles to the network, but it seems like a
 necessary countermeasure for now given the extra clients that surged into
 the network. The performance and timeouts had already degraded before we
 added the DoS subsystem. What would you have done?
