Comment:

 Interesting!

 I am worried about increased load on the relays if many people start using
 this.  (What do Tails/whonix/whoever actually use this for? If it's
 something that a lot of people actually use, they might be DOSing the
 network.)

 Right now, the load for circuit creation requests is pretty high, and
 that's actually making success rate seems to be less than we'd like.  I
 wonder  if it would make sense to take some action to try to mitigate that
 problem here, either by having this feature be off by default, and need to
 get enabled at compile-time ; or to rate-limit the number of circuits it
 would create.

 That said, it does have applications, and I'd like to see it go in if we
 can come up with a good answer here.  Would you prefer credit as
 "cypherpunks" or some other name?
