Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [comment:19 nickm]:
 > arma: ping?  I think that George's post above is pretty persuasive to
 me, but I would like you to chime in before we ship with this.  Otherwise
 I can revert it for 0.2.7.3-alpha and we can revisit it when you have more
 time.

 Thanks for being thorough here Nick -- we indeed do not want to do things
 that are on balance harmful to users. It's always a balance, and it's
 important to think these things through.

 I encourage everybody to keep paying attention to these topics, and to
 contribute to the tech reports and other analysis that folks are doing. In
 particular, I know that many research groups are currently working on ways
 to deploy Privex safely on Tor exit relays:

 And there is a lot of work to be done there, both in understanding what is
 safe, and in developing community norms and expectations.
