Comment (by cypherpunks):

 My suggestion would be not remove the IP address that is next to Guard
 Node. First of all, it's useful for users to know what the IP address is,
 when guards change IP addresses and possibly (albeit a low chance) if the
 guard node's IP are changing within an irregular time frame. At the very
 least the country which the guard node is coming from should be shown. The
 "leaking the identity of the guard accidentally via screenshots" isn't
 really common so it shouldn't be something that should affect this.
