[tor-relays] Should new exit relays be probed for public DNS resolvers

[Nathaniel Suchy]

It’s not a threat model issue. It’s more of a let’s make Tor less dependent on a few public resolvers. Running our own resolvers just makes more sense at such a scale.

Cordially,

Should new Tor Exit Relays be probed and not included in the consensus until they're running their own DNS resolver and not relying on a public one?
