 Replying to [comment:26 teor]:
 > But maybe it is better to always do vanguards for internal circuits. Do
 we know if the onion service attacks apply to other circuits?

 Another fun example is testing circuits. If you've set some Vanguards,
 that means you're primarily concerned with onion service (or onion client)
 performance. Does that mean your internal testing circuits should be using
 your Vanguards too? Seems like there's a good argument for yes.
