However, before attempting +this, we should see if we can simplify the equations further by changing how +we assign Guard, Fast and Stable flags in the first place. If we assign Guard +flags such that Guards are properly allocated wrt Middle and Fast, and avoid +assigning Guard to Exit, this will become simpler. Unfortunately, this is +literally impossible to fix with C-Tor. In adition to numerous overrides and +disparate safety checks that prevent changes, several bugs mean that Guard, +Stable, and Fast flags are randomly assigned: See: + https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40230 + https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40395 + https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/19162 + https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40733 + https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/analysis/-/issues/45 + https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/issues/100 + https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/issues/160 + https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/issues/158 + 0.
