 Replying to [comment:5 rransom]:
 > But people who run a public relay need to understand that they are
 publishing their IP address, and other information needed for their relay
 to function as part of the Tor network, in a widely available, publicly
 archived list.

 This is not about tor node operators only. Everyone using the same IP
 (NAT) as a non-exit node is affected by this issue.

 As written above this is not about relay operators only.

 I think a tor node operator (and everyone who is forced to use his IP)
 should be the one to decide whether this is an issue for them or not.
