Comment(by rransom):

 There is one more change that might help fix this issue: we could make
 relays which are overloaded with CREATE cells close some intro-point
 circuits (specifically, any intro point which a client introduces to while
 the relay is overloaded).  I'm pretty sure that this change would not make
 any hidden service less reachable, but it could put significantly more
 load on the HSDir relays for a hidden service.
