[tor-talk] New Astoria Tor client is said to be better than plain Tor

[l.m]

If tor had a more modular path selection system like pluggable
transports then work like this would be easier. Instead of forking tor
(perfectly fine of course), researchers could propose alternative path
selection algorithms. The proposals could go through a review then
implementation stage. Then clients could choose path selection
according to different threat models (requiring handshake support). A
tunable path-selection makes for some very interesting possibilities.

I look forward to reviewing the AS-inference against an adversary who
really want's to avoid detection by this implementation.
