-- Design
+- Design only
- Begin design work for UDP transition; identify areas where we need to
make changes or instrument stuff early.
+ [multiple weeks, ongoing. Need to do a draft early.]
- Performance, mostly protocol-neutral.
- Work with Libevent 2.0's bufferevent interface
- Identify any performance stuff we need to push back into
libevent to make it as fast as we want.
+ - Get a decent rate-limiting feature into Libevent
+ - Get openssl support into Libevent.
- Revise how we do bandwidth limiting and round-robining between
circuits on a connection.

- Figure out good ways to instrument Tor internals so we can tell
how well our bandwidth and flow-control stuff is actually working.

-- Features
+ - Rate limit at clients:
