However, that might require all three nodes in the circuit to be picked from the high-uptime pool.
Can't be certain but I think Phantom picks the entire circuit and then camps on it till it breaks somewhere. Their paper might give other views/ideas on such things.
Another thought, the benefits of 'longer' camping on an entry seem sound to me (you're either safe or not straight away, vs likely not safe sometime in the future or even straight away.) Does the EG camp time come down to estimating the number of EG's in the environment that are unsafe? Also, if you camp on a whole circuit your usage is more timeable by a PA who might catch your tail. So perhaps making the circuit be an anchored flagellum, farther from the EG, more flipping about. Sometimes with just a shimmy in the middle.
