Comment (by s7r):
Ok, won't reopen this since it's not a bug, but just asking to confirm:
If `NumPrimaryGuards` is set to something > 3, this will be transparent in
the log file as Tor will just sample more primary guards in the list and
only complain if it is missing descriptors for one or more of our
'''primary entry''' guards (`NumEntryGuards`), correct?
And because of #25853 when `NumEntryGuards` is set to <= 3, Tor will
default to 3 (but actually try hard to just use 1) and also default to
`NumPrimaryGuards` to 3 if not set to a higher number.
So this means only if `NumEntryGuards = 6` would be used we would see
"missing descriptors for '''n/6''' of our primary entry guards", and if
`NumEntryGuards = 6` this means `NumPrimaryGuards = 6` as well, unless
manually set to something > 6.
