     Yes, I saw that after I took a look.  However, that shouldn't really
be a problem because the Exit addresses are the ones that could have gotten
into the block list simply by doing their job.  A non-Exit on the block list
got their by its operator's own bad behavior.  If someone writes to me and
promises never to do it again, I'll remove his address from the block list,
but on the condition the promise is kept.  Likewise if someone writes to me
and says his relay used to run as an Exit, but now just runs as entry/middle,
I'll also remove his address, again conditionally, because his address may
have gotten into the block list when it was an Exit doing its job.  Again,
the published address would still get a pass anytime it appears in a
consensus.
