Comment(by Sebastian):

 To make it more clear why I think that automatically including ?? with a
 country here, consider the case where a country with only very few relays
 is listed in ExcludeNodes. If the set of unknown relays is large, which
 has happened in the past, the user gets a big reduction in entropy for
 node choices. Forcing this on the user is probably not what we want at
 all.
