when choosing the middle nodes, it excludes the exit node and other middle
nodes first.
and then exclude itself if it's a or. and randomly choose a node in the
running routers list which contains all those routers only if it's now
running and valid and you think it's reliable enough.
so actually i don't see there's some policy to exlude those exit nodes
