With my DFRI [1] hat on, I'd like to volunteer to present an alternative view on how to run exit traffic in a sustainable manner, should someone decide to pick up this idea. This is unrelated to relays at universities and campuses but still a very good idea IMO. [1] https://www.dfri.se/dfri/?lang=en
