 Replying to [comment:16 mttp]:

 through Vidalia but no longer is.

 I think this part isn't true? That is, I think Vidalia never had any such
 support for setting ExitNodes?

 > Forcing Tor Browser users into a headache-inducing workflow does not
 serve the users.

 Hm. I guess this is indeed the question at hand.

 (Also, writing the country code is likely to screw users up, since they
 e.g. write {UK} and wonder why it isn't England.)
