Comment (by asn):

 Two very minor things:

 - Maybe we should change the following log message:
   {{{
       log_info(LD_REND, "Giving up on %s as intro point for %s"
                " (circuit disappeared).",
                safe_str_client(extend_info_describe(intro->extend_info)),
                safe_str_client(service->service_id));
   }}}
   since now we attempt a retry instead of giving up on the circuit.

 - There is this comment that is also not quite true anymore:
   {{{
         /* This funcion will be called again by the main loop so this
 intro
          * point without a intro circuit will be removed. */
   }}}
