[tor-relays] Thoughts on InspecTor?

This application claims to identify bad Tor nodes for the purpose of 
excluding them from use:

http://xqz3u5drneuzhaeo.onion/users/badtornodes/

Anyone have any thoughts on this?  The sum of bad-exit-flags (8), exit 
nodes that alter payload (4), and long-term-misconfigured (27) suggests 
excluding 39 nodes within the Tor config file.

Is this reasonable?  Are these exclusions appropriate for relays, or for 
end users, or neither, or both?
