ignore families for L2 guard independence
mike is concerned that we would get too much exposure to adversaries,
if we enforce that none of our L2 guards can be in the same family.
this change set now essentially finishes the feature that commit a77727cdc
was attempting to add, but strips the "_and_family" part of that plan.
