Comment (by nickm):

 It's potentially worth pursuing this, but I'm not 100% sure that we can
 actually do it safely.  In the past, there have been many times when we
 didn't realize in advance how problematic it might be to let a large
 number of untrustworthy hosts occupy some innocuous-seeming network
 position.  So if we're going to pursue this line of thought, we've got to
 figure out what a "Restrained" relay is allowed to do, and have a very
 convincing rationale for thinking it's safe.
