Nicknames are required to be non-empty, did that stop any abuse?

Correction: Nicknames default to "Unnamed" when unset. However did any of the recent abuse or suspected-malicious relays actually use "Unnamed"? From your E-Mails trying to reach out to some suspicious relay operators trying to get them to set proper MyFamily (and thanks for always being on the lookout for the network!), I got an impression that it is way more common to have some sort of randomly generated nicknames, than to run tons of "Unnamed" relays.
