 Replying to [comment:2 Sebastian]:
 > Hrm. I'm not so sure. Are we worried that those using the feature
 partition themselves too much as it stands now? Or do we want it just
 because some people might want to disable it?

 The intent was the former.  An exit node can easily see which circuits are
 built by upgraded clients and which are not.  (Presuming the SOCKS client
 is optimistic-data-aware, of course.)
