We > should ask tor development to implement such a feature until 12/2008, I agree with your post, both the point of view of implement this new feature in Tor (beware from partitioning issue, however) and the need not to overreact. But I strongly suggest to discuss more and warn about using the 600+ router from China. Consider two facts: 1) mout are born in few weeks 2) all of them are exit router, no other country has more than 50% Add them and add a very small quantity of paranoy. German situation is that of a nation full of crypto hacktivist that mus face a new law in two year China (and another country maybe) are a Big Brother with certificate of authenticy. mMybe a little press coverage on this is due. A lot of naive Tor users think that those are chinese dissidents, reallly! JM2EC.
