Comment(by rransom):
Replying to [comment:4 arma]:
> I would say we should pick the situation where exit+guards can be used
in the first hop. One of the main security goals of Tor is unlinkability,
and the degree of unlinkability that Tor can provide is related to the
number of possible entry points in the network.
To improve unlinkability, you would need to increase the number of entry
nodes that ''each client'' might use (currently fixed at 3, for good
reason), not increase the total number of entry nodes in the network. The
way to improve anonymity here is to ''reduce'' the number of possible
entry nodes in the network, thereby increasing the number of clients per
entry node (and therefore providing more cover traffic for each client's
circuits).
