 While current stable version of Tor (0.2.2.x) still supports Exit
 enclaves. The new versions of Tor (> 0.2.3.x) use a new descriptor format
 (microdescriptors) that allow relays to specify an Exit Enclave policy,
 but clients will not use it, therefore voiding the purpose of exit
 enclaving.

 The ability to allow a Tor users to reach a certain destination without
 ever leaving the Tor network is a feature that a few people are interested
 in.

 I think these properties could be what we are looking for in Encrypted
 Services (#2555), though what needs to be figured out is a way for a
 client to understand that a certain destination is running a Tor ES.
