[tor-talk] >600 Tor relays without ContactInfo and similar properties

[bo0od]

I doubt excludenodes does any good, as tpo stated the behavior of how 
Tor will react to it is not studied well and might be disabled in the 
future. Aside from that just because too many nodes puppet up or you 
feel suspecious doesnt necessary be worse than any old trusted node 
located within spying countries like US or UK or Germany..etc or even 
anywhere. What im trying to say is we need permanent design mitigation 
to solve that not temporary blockage of x or y then another a and b will 
pop up and the game continues forever...
