Comment (by cypherpunks):

 It is worthless and may backfire. Censors would just contact the
 developers and say "implement measures preventing using your service for
 censorship circumvention or we will block your service too". This may
 include eliminating peer-to-peer calls entirely, streaming them through
 own servers and also implement recording and analysis of calls for
 surveillance and marketing needs.
