Has this been seen used by any ISPs or governments ?
It seems to me that it would be too difficult and use far too much
resources (computer and human time) to run such fingerprinting on the
millions of internet users, assuming they aren't previously flagged for
using Tor or suspected as being behind political comments or websites,
etc.
