Technical solutions to circumvent censorship are welcome of course.  
But don't forget that Tor is designed to be an anonymity tool, not an  
anti-censorship tool. At the moment I see it as the responsibility of  
the user to choose an appropriate exit-node when he/she suspects  
censorship.

Of course you could use the exit-policies to publish the censorship  
for each exit node, but that would result in the directories to hold a  
list of all blocked IPs for each ISP, what would impair performance I  
guess.
