Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > How is "breaking half the Internet" not unreasonable

 And who is breaking it? Tor?
 So you just give up and let Cloudflare continue their activity?

 > Since the proposal as it stands isn't serious.

 This is a serious problem. You have no idea how many users got blocked by
 CF every day, do you?

 > plus CF captchas got so low nowadays

 Wrong. Why don't you do your research?

 > so it's no longer that much of a concern

 No. This is a continued issue.
 Tor with Chrome, Tor with Opera, Tor with network client, etc.
 So many requests are intercepted by CF and breaked by it. Every day.
