Comment (by starlight):
and
>The purpose of the feature is not to remove bandwidth (note the idea is
only to disable the exit policy), but rather is to improve user experience
and pointedly motivate exit operators to complete the straightforward task
of proper DNS configuration. For detailed background and rationale see
#21394. Automatic enforcement of functional exit DNS will lighten the
burden on thinly-stretched volunteer and staff Tor Project resources.
