 > The challenge will be contacting each operator, and finding some
 operators with multiple IP addresses. We might even contact all
 *potential* operators, and then select two different lists, so we don't
 miss eligible relays with multiple IP addresses.

 If you are excited to do it, go for it. If you're not excited though, I
 think there's no reason to put too much energy into this idea.

 Remember the original phrasing in the tor-dev post: "It's certainly not a
 robust trick, but it has few downsides". Once you need to ask a bunch of
 people to set things up, and track whether they did, and bug them
 afterwards, it might not count as "few downsides" anymore. :)
