Comment:

 See my ticket12690 branch, intended for maint-0.2.5.

 In particular, somebody should see if my arithmetic wants more
 bulletproofing.

 Also I keep thinking I should lower the number to 1500 kilounits, to get
 more guards, because surely 1500 is close enough to 2000, and if we cut
 out a lot of our non-exit guards then the only remaining place for them is
 the middle hop, which is exactly where diversity isn't so helpful.
