 Replying to [comment:1 rransom]:

 connections work significantly less badly.  Their clients would still have
 to rebuild their rendezvous circuits.

 I'm focusing on the fact that clients will fetch (or just re-use) the old
 hidden service descriptor, which lists the old introduction points, and be
 introducing themselves to the wrong place.

 Unless I misunderstand your misunderstanding?
