Comment:

 @hurus my understanding is that the parameters will be weakened as times
 goes on, since this is just an emergency thing to do since the recent DDoS
 was very hard on the network. As a result now the DDoSers stopped and
 moved on.

 In the meantime you can set a guard node that doesn't have a Tor version
 with the recent DDoS mitigation. You can easily find them on the relay
 search in metrics.torproject.org
