Comment (by teor):

 Oh, you left out a few:

 decide_to_advertise_begindir() -> router_should_advertise_begindir()

 consider_testing_reachability():

 Maybe we could split this into a boolean function that doesn't change
 state: router_should_check_reachability().
 And a function that calls that function and changes state:
 router_do_reachability_checks().

 You might also want to check the code and documentation in these
 functions.
