Comment:

 Calling this wontfix for now: that doesn't mean "never" but it means "not
 any time soon".

 It remains on our radar, but there's no real work to track here. The big
 problem is that supporting arbitrary IP traffic in a meaningful way would
 require fundamental research improvements in onion routing-style anonymity
 networks, if we want to actually anonymize the IP traffic and the computer
 generating it.

 Probably the best way to more forward here is not on trac, but in the
 research literature and/or a series of design proposals or tor-dev
 threads.
