 Replying to [comment:2 mikeperry]:
 > I'm also not really too worried about the CPU load of this over auto-
 expiry, especially if we just remove auto-expiry when we deploy it. Users
 tend to only open a few websites at a time.

 What do you mean by removing auto-expiry in practice? Just hold every
 circuit open until a relay on it breaks? That seems a poor idea for
 resource management (the set of circuits just keeps growing) and also
 privacy (it leaves a much larger window for back-tracking).
