------------------------------+--------------------------------
 (From #28335)

 We should change these events as follows: we should make "ROLE_ALL" a real
 always-on role, and make sure we're always in it. Then we should move
 (nearly?) all the events out of ROLE_ALL into new roles, including a role
 that means "active network participant" -- that is, actively building and
 using circuits on the Tor network.

 The end goal is to end up with a cleaner separation and a role that means
 "network participant".
