-133  Incorporate Unreachable ORs into the Tor Network [RESERVE]
-
-     This proposal had an idea for letting ORs that can only make
-     outgoing connections still relay data usefully in the network.
-     It's something we should keep in mind, and it's a pretty neat
-     idea, but it radically changes the network topology.  Anybody
-     who wants to analyze new network topologies should definitely
-     have a look. (5/2011)
-
-     For this I have introduced a new proposal status, "RESERVE". A
-     proposal is "in reserve" if we're not currently planning to
-     implement it, but we might someday want to do so if we decide that
-     what it provides is a great idea. (9/2015)

-143  Improvements of Distributed Storage for Tor Hidden Service
-     Descriptors
-
-     Here's a proposal from Karsten about making the hidden
-     service DHT more reliable and secure to use.  It could use
-     more discussion and analysis. We should look into it as part
-     of efforts to improve designs for the next generation of
-     hidden services.
-
-     One problem with the analysis here, though, is that it
-     assumes a fixed set of servers that doesn't change.  One
-     reason that we upload to N servers at each chosen point in
-     the ring is that the hidden service host and the hidden
-     service client may have different views of which servers
-     exist. We need to re-do the analysis with some fraction of
-     recent consensuses.

-     This is probably superseded by proposal 224; we should close it
