 CREATE_FAST is no longer a reliable client discriminator:
 {{{
    If an OR sees a circuit created with CREATE_FAST, the OR is sure to be
 the
    first hop of a circuit.  ORs SHOULD reject attempts to create streams
 with
    RELAY_BEGIN exiting the circuit at the first hop: letting Tor be used
 as a
    single hop proxy makes exit nodes a more attractive target for
 compromise.
 }}}
