I disagree Morphium's position mainly for the same reasons Mike and Jake
already pointed out. If the operators really care about their nodes
they'll certainly contact Tor admins. Damaging Tor's reputation in the
public due to exit sniffing imo is much more worse than loosing some
bandwidth.

those five high bandwidth nodes with suspicious exit policies haven't
been chosen randomly.
