Comment(by mikeperry):

 Hrmm.. My bias is towards forward progress, though. So long as there's
 some tunable safeguard, we should roll it out and just make the change
 later if feel we can refine it (should maybe be a consensus param? Doesn't
 really matter though). Changing the value also shouldn't block 0.2.2.36,
 IMO, especially since it's already done.

 Perhaps the other ticket can be "Choose circuit building threshholds based
 on faction of consensus weight" or something? Depends on how we want to
 consolidate these issues and how we want to track the changes...
