 Replying to [comment:22 mikeperry]:
 > Random thought that may be a horrible idea: Do we want to make
 compute_frac_paths_available() return only f_mid*f_exit if guards have
 already been chosen? Ie if this is a re-bootstrap of a previously used
 client?

 I think that's a find thing to analyze for a proposal for 0.2.5 or later,
 if it turns out to be wise.  My personal intuition says that the
 complexity might not be worth it, but design-by-intuition gets bad
 designs. :)
