Comment (by dgoulet):

 I've gone over Roger's review in the oniongit. Some discussions are left
 to be answered.

 asn will soon hand off to me a unittests branch (very awesome) so expect
 that at some point, I'll take over and put it in as an extra commit.

 Thanks teor for this, I 100% agree with you. What I'm wondering here is if
 we should take the time to also implement these and backport them or for
 now we only put in the RP one (which I think the worst one because clients
 do open the RP before doing the introduction) and put the others in 034+ ?
 If the later, I propose we open a new ticket for this "anti DoS + tor2web"
 issue because also at that point, if we end up with relays just denying
 direct client connections for HS purposes, we should start considering
 strongly to rip off the tor2web code from Tor. I won't start a "why do
 that discussion" in this ticket.
