Re: [tor-bugs] #22310 [Core Tor/Tor]: Tor 0.3.x clients won't use Guard-flagged relays as Guards if they don't have V2Dir, throwing off consensus position weights
#22310: Tor 0.3.x clients won't use Guard-flagged relays as Guards if they don't
have V2Dir, throwing off consensus position weights

Comment (by arma):
One fix we should consider is simply not assigning the Guard flag if we
aren't going to assign the V2Dir flag. Consider:
{{{
$ grep "^s " cached-consensus |grep Guard|wc -l
2509
$ grep "^s " cached-consensus |grep Guard|grep -v "V2Dir"|wc -l
244
}}}
I haven't added up the capacity/speed/bandwidth/whatever of these relays
for comparison though.
But since they essentially already *aren't* guards for Tor 0.3 and later
clients, maybe that makes the choice easier?
