Guard vote for all relays running the affected versions. And then get
enough authorities to update that we can affect Guard assignment. This
option seems better in theory, I don't have a good handle on what versions
the dir auths like to run, so I don't know how tricky this one will be in
practice.

Hang on, didn't we have a bug where clients would pick relays as their
guard regardless of whether they had the Guard flag? How many versions ago
was that?
And do clients automatically get new guards when their existing guards
lose the Guard flag? Or do they keep their old guards until they rotate?
