 > What other aspects should we be considering here?

 See #20509 for a case where we want to take away the Guard flag from
 relays that are buggy and would make poor guards. In that case we would
 want clients to jump ship from those relays. And we either do it by taking
 away their Guard flag, or we do it by rejecting the relays from the
 network.
