Comment (by asn):

 FWIW, it's also worth mentioning that making HSes more stubborn towards
 old HSes might also allow guard discovery attacks from the IP. That is the
 IP kills incoming circuits, till a compromised middle node is selected,
 and since the HS is stubborn it will keep on establishing new circuits.

 This was mentioned by waldo here:
