[tor-dev] Proposal: Stop giving Exit flags when only unencrypted traffic can exit

Quoting Tim Wilson-Brown - teor <teor2345 at gmail.com>:

I'd argue that it's marginally less attractive. They still have the  
opportunity to inspect some unencrypted traffic.

> And even adversaries contribute useful, secure bandwidth to the Tor Network.

This could also potentially backfire: adversaries can create local  
(non-tor) policies to throttle encrypted exit traffic, while not  
throttling unencrypted traffic.
