Comment:

 See
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/rransom/torspec.git/shortlog/refs/heads/bug2411a
 bug2411a] ( `git://git.torproject.org/rransom/torspec.git bug2411a` ) for
 documentation for the existing `PURPOSE` field of `CIRC` events, and some
 other minor fixups.

 For both our hidden service performance-measurement tools and an improved
 circuit list in Vidalia, we will need to expose more information about
 circuit states.  For the HS performance-measurement tools, we will also
 need to expose some new event types;
 [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2011-June/002698.html I
 asked on the tor-dev mailing list] whether we could add new event types to
 the CIRC event, but no one answered.  I could assume that that silence
 means that no non-toy controllers would break, but it's more likely that
 the controller developers/maintainers aren't paying attention to the tor-
 dev list (or will claim to have not been paying attention if I make that
 change).
