{{{

0) {

}}}
That's a kludge, and I think it might be a needless one. We can just say
entry_guards_changed(), and that will cause a state write to happen in 10
minutes or an hour, depending. Am I wrong?
Using "0" for the "never disable circuits" value seems a little worrisome
to me; it relies on us using < rather than <= for when we compare the
actual failure rate to the threshold. Should I worry?
