 Actually, .exit is still used for TrackExitHosts and MapAddress.  For
 MapAddress, I'm fine with saying that it overrides ExitNodes.  For
 TrackExitHosts, we *do* want to drop tracked hosts if they become
 excluded. addressmap_clear_excluded_trackexithosts is supposed to solve
 that problem.

 In any case, I believe that this behavior isn't what's on the (revised)
 manpage, and I'm not sure where to put it.
