Comment(by rransom):

 This doesn't make discovering a client's entry guards significantly
 easier.  It ''does'' make failing a client's circuits from the
 exit/destination end significantly easier, and as soon as the path-bias
 detector is turned on, that becomes a full remote user-tracing attack.
