Comment(by mikeperry):
My take on this is that what we're actually doing is preventing people who
accidentally click to be an exit in Vidalia without understanding what it
means from getting themselves into trouble.
But at the same time how we trust the GeoIP database updates will be a
huge issue for us going forward.
For this reason, I think we should limit this feature to extreme cases,
and it should only be used to BadExit, not fully de-list. Being a regular
relay might actually help against traffic analysis, and if it works, we
shouldn't prevent it.
I think ioerror's points about geographically-aware circuit+exit selection
are an orthogonal issue (and a pretty hard one at that).
