Comment(by arma):

 Right, I'm ok with either of these solutions. I think the address policy
 would provide more flexibility, and could be just as fast a check as now
 in the case where you didn't set a policy.

 I wonder if there are going to be side effects though, e.g. where the Tor
 client writing to a local socks connection counts those bytes as part of
 its rate limiting.

 I suspect the answer is yes -- meaning each researcher will have a
 different reason for wanting this feature disabled, and will have
 different expectations about what the resulting behavior ought to be.

 That argues for making it a simple flag rather than a policy. And for
 putting a warning on its use ("you get to keep both pieces").
