Comment (by teor):

 Just to be clear here:
 * it's totally ethical for researchers to use tracing to profile behaviour
 of their own tor clients (for example, path building, or timing behaviour)
 * it is unethical for anyone to release raw, detailed tracing data of
 other users' activity
 * for most things researchers want, PrivCount or another privacy-
 preserving system is their best bet
