Hi, Robert!  I think this is definitely a step in the right direction,
with some tricky issues associated with it.  In particular, it
represents a big deviation from Tor's current clique topology.  We
should definitely drop the clique assumption (for scaling reasons if
nothing else) at some point, though, and there's no reason it can't be
soon.

Send it to or-dev and let's talk about it there?
