I wondered how many guards would we have before and after this change: 1021 Exits 1725 Guards * 412 Guards that are Exits * 1313 Guards that aren’t Exits This would be a 24% decrease in the number of Guards, which seems ok, particularly if they’re not good at being guards anyway. (Counts from the 2015-09-24 21:00:00 microdesc consensus in my local Tor Browser data folder.) Would we also want to disable the DirPort on Exits? Or is that a small amount of extra load? Similarly, what about the HSDir flag? Tim Tim Wilson-Brown (teor) teor2345 at gmail dot com PGP 968F094B teor at blah dot im OTR CAD08081 9755866D 89E2A06F E3558B7F B5A9D14F
