Comment (by Jaym):

 Replying to [comment:28 nickm]:
 > Hi, how is this going?  I'd love to take a version of this in 0.4.4 if
 we can, to improve our security, but it might make more sense to take it
 early in 0.4.5 if it's not going to be done by the deadline (Jun 15).

 I'd love to see it in 0.4.4. I've made the requested unit test last Sunday
 and replied to asn's comment on the github pull request
 (https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/1873). Btw asn, that was a good
 call, I caught a corner case issue.

 So currently, I am missing a patch in guard-spec.txt and I can workout the
 commit structure as soon as the code is flagged ok. I am sure all of this
 can be done this week :)

 Also, Travis and AppVeyor are complaining but I did not understand why (I
 found the logs hard to deciphers).
