 Replying to [comment:2 arma]:
 > Well, the full exit policies are the ones that the exit relay actually
 follows. So we are losing resolution, in the case where addresses (not
 just ports) are specified.

 True.

 I think the question is more if we're fine giving up some of the
 resolution if it gives us a better overall picture.  I'd imagine that
 people have a hard time "parsing" the full exit policy of nodes like
 chaoscomputerclub18, whereas the exit policy summary may answer their
 question better which connections the node allows in general.  (And if
 they want an exact answer, maybe they should use ExoneraTor, not Atlas.)

 > That said, the 0.2.3 clients can't see addresses in exit policies
 anymore either.

 Right.

 > Whichever you want, I guess.

 No, you're the user here, not I.  If you think the full exit policy is
 more useful than the summary, maybe we should keep it?
