 #5283 made me notice another fun side effect: if your Tor operates two
 hidden services, and they happen to pick overlapping hsdir points, and
 happen to publish somewhat nearby in time, the descriptor publishes will
 share the same circuit, linking the hidden services together from the
 perspective of the hsdir.

 A less dangerous variation of this issue is when you visit a hidden
 service whose hsdir is the same as the hsdir chosen by the hidden service
 you offer.
