 Replying to [comment:8 arma]:

 Exits in the Amunet family have sent outbound traffic on an IP address
 which does not have an ORPort on it before.  They may still do that.


 But making bridges refuse connections from exits guarantees that bridges
 which require AUTHORIZE cells cannot perform automatic reachability tests
 until relays learn to EXTEND using bridge passwords.  And we don't really
 want a bridge to have to give away its password for that purpose.
