Comment:

 Yes, except that I'm not doing real research on this topic but only
 scratching the surface. I also think that papers on the topic of GeoIP
 database comparison already exist, and I'm not sure though that we should
 encourage more research specifically on this topic. There's probably other
 research that Tor would benefit more from. I'd say we can close this
 ticket, but I'll reassign to irl to make that call.
