i am glad that somebody else got notice and i agree, suspecting something nasty (or highly unusual) is going on. There was a discussion about that in Berlin in July already https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/BerlinRelayOperat... but no public follow-up since then.
It's weird because nobody asked us, whereas the IP assignments clearly point to us (and the meeting even happened in a space I am responsible for)...
There seems to be a private person who is holding this family https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/family:1084200B44021D308EA4253... and ran between 10-15% exit probability in the last six months - which i personally judge as far too high for a single person, or even an entity.
Agreed. I had a longer discussion with nifty around diversity some time ago, but ultimately it is up to individual operators. I have no reason to doubt the legimitate interest of nifty to simply support the Tor network. There used to be times when single operators were in control of 80% of the exit capacity, and we worked hard to get it more diversified. There is a lot of room for improvement, and other networks like OVH see even more Tor traffic...
