If a node is an exit, maybe it shouldn't *ever* be used as a guard?
This is just off the top of my head, but it seems like there might be
some abuse possibilities in a node that sees both entering and exiting
traffic, even if they're never for the same circuit (which I believe
is the current behavi

One of the aims of proposal 236 is to reduce the period of
inactiveness when a relay becomes a guard (see 'Phase three' of
[0]). This phenomenon will become worse when the lifetime of the guard
gets increased to 9 months, so we need to find a good fix.
Proposal 236 tries to make young guards more
