Comment (by arma):

 Note that there are actually two parts to squeezing down the v2 onion
 service traffic with this approach: there's squeezing down the client
 circuits that are trying to reach the intro points (yay), and squeezing
 down the service circuits that are trying to reach the rend points (boo).
 I say yay for the first one because fewer introductions means less
 response traffic, and boo for the second one because by the time you're at
 that stage of the rendezvous, it sure would be best to just finish it.

 But I don't know of an easy way to distinguish between the two, especially
 before we've processed the create cell, so I am willing to lump them
 together here.
