If you upgrade, then the next time you rotate to a new guard, you'll pick a smarter one. It doesn't ditch your current guard. I figured I didn't want to force a rotation, especially one that a lot of people will do around the same time period. And anyway it will be all resolved in a few months after the upgrade. I also thought about changing the behavior so we avoid our current guard whenever it is missing the Guard flag -- which would basically accomplish your above goal. But that idea has problems of its own, and some of them look worse than what it cures: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17773 --Roger -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
