Comment(by arma):
While we're planning, though: it seems that hidden services are extra
vulnerable to this issue, since they don't move and since the adversary
can induce them to talk. Should we disable guard rotation for hidden
services? Or just crank up its rotation period a lot?
So long as hidden services aren't a big piece of network traffic, such a
move shouldn't influence overall network load balancing, and should help
the hidden services a lot.
