Comment(by yetonetime):

 This is not right to exclude any country by default because geoip db may
 not be complete only.

 Let's all unset regions geoip db may contain the address of which wants to
 exlude by user, but at the same time is a unknown country may not be a
 country which wants to exclude.

 If the user wants to exclude only {de} it should result in a only those
 relays for which it is well known that it is DE. If the user wants to
 exclude the unknown country, he must do it explicitly.

 And yes, 0001-Make-Nowhere-explicitly-listable-in-torrc.patch works just
 fine. You need just more reliable tests for it than it was described.
