Hello,

I wonder if it would be a good thing to define "Middleman-Only" nodes.
Those nodes would ONLY talk to other Tor-Nodes. They will not accept
connections from non-Tor-nodes and not relay to non-Tor-nodes.
While the latter is currently configurable via the exit-policy the
former is not directly supported and thus quick hacks (like firewalling)
reduce the speed and reliability of the network.

The reason why to do this is that those nodes would not provide relaying
to the "public" and thus imho not fall under the various EU Data
retention rules.

Comments welcome.

Regards,
smuggler
