 Replying to [comment:3 gk]:

 your reasoning behind the keyword change? (Reverting it back to the
 original one meanwhile)

 Expanding on that: I think the option to change a circuit for a particular
 domain might indeed perceived as an easy way to reduce linkability (which
 it actually even is). So, if that's not working but the old circuit is
 still used as only the catch-all one gets rotated that's bad.
