Comment (by cypherpunks):

 In other words. prop292 makes you stand out?

 If a relay observers the one more relay_early cells on a circuit, it can
 guess that it is in a (van)guard position of serving a hiddenservice with
 vanguard enabled?

 When this can be confirmed, it is not very in aim of the vanguards addon
 at all. Because not many actually shoul'd be using it at all. But ones who
 need strong anonymity. If this is the case, it will reduce onion services
 anonymity.
