Comment:

 This is partially solved by the various filtering proxies that different
 people have written to sit on top of the control port.  I think a full
 solution would involve a really careful control-port design analysis.  See
 the thread starting at https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 dev/2017-April/012141.html for some good discussion.

 I'm closing this one as "wontfix", but that doesn't mean the effort is
 doomed, or that there's no further work to do -- just that it's much
 bigger than a matter of "limiting getinfo replies".
