  - We should back out the MBTF->WFU Guard factors, since they open us
    up to new attacks, and don't this "median" notion doesn't necessarily
    help us distinguish between "was good enough to be a guard when
    we picked it" and "is still adequate to be used as a guard even
    after we've picked it". We should write a real proposal for this --

    o Let's come up with a good formula for Guard.

Here's a go:

Planned for 0.2.1.x:
