Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:23 nickm]:
 > Velope on IRC suggests that we drop the "strong" sentence from alphas
 _and_ stable series, on the theory that somebody will interpret its
 absence to mean that this one does have the "strong" anonymity, for some
 value of "strong" not currently compatible with low-latency anonymity
 networks.

 I don't mind losing the phrase about 'strong' anonymity. Once upon a time,
 all the users of Tor were anonymity researchers. Expecting ordinary users
 to realize that the word 'strong' has some hidden meaning (one that is
 quite subtle even to anonymity researchers, I might add!) is foolish at
 this point.
