Comment(by mikeperry):

 I think we should also future proof this somehow, considering we're about
 to change a whole lot of the Tor protocol for key size upgrades, tagging
 defenses, and a udp transport, and there's a whole lot more things we'd
 like to change if we just had the R&D resources (like distributed
 bandwidth and reliability measurements, others).

 Perhaps we should include a "Top N likely future changes in Tor" blog post
 (and a corresponding Future Work section of the paper) so that this new
 design paper isn't totally obsolete a year or two after it's finished?
