Comment:

 Thanks for the fast reply!

 I create a PR to add this under {{{Alternate designs that we don't do
 (yet)}}}: https://github.com/torproject/webwml/pull/20

 Might however also fit in any of:
 - Tor Browser (general)
 - Advanced Tor usage
 - Anonymity and Security

 The comment arma mentioned was:
 > I really like the new feature that allows us to see where the used
 relays are located.
 > That made me see a security threat - sometimes all three relays are
 based in the same country or the entry and exit. I think there should be
 additional code added to make sure this never happens, imagine the chaos
 when exit and entry node is from the USA and controlled by NSA. Overall
 the Tor Browser 4.5-alpha-1 is great.
