Comment (by arma):

 dgoulet: when we build this, assuming we allow the user to configure a
 number of intro points, please put a cap on the number they can pick. I
 don't want anybody picking 15000 intro points. :)

 (I could still totally get behind either forcing everybody to use 3,
 because we don't know that more than 3 is actually helpful in any way, and
 it makes the onion service stand out; or forcing everybody to choose
 either 3 and 6, and not letting them pick their own number. I don't seem
 to have much support for those options though I guess?)
