Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 I ran another round of tests. (I set the timeout back to 10 seconds,
 because that's a more realistic comparison of what will be seen in Tor
 Browser.) Results:

 gamambels exit relays are back up! And interestingly, two of them
 (HaveHeart and sofia) are showing bad DNS, and one of them (CriticalMass)
 is showing good DNS. Both of pastly's exits are also showing good DNS as
 they did in the previous comment.
