What helps more is your node nick and/or idhex string. If you're not
comfortable talking about that publicly, knowing if you are Guard,
Exit, Guard+Exit, or just Stable (Middle) node helps.

I actually do expect that this system may cause some slower nodes
(especially those with capacities close to or below the network stream
average of ~70Kbytes/sec) to experience less traffic. This does not
mean the nodes are useless. It just means that we should try to use
them infrequently enough such that when they are used, they can
provide enough capacity to not be a bottleneck in a circuit.

We are still waiting for the effects of the Guard bug to fully
dissipate. I am cautiously optimistic that things are getting better,
but we'll need to keep an eye on things for a bit longer to be sure, I
suspect.
