It sounds very handy to use the Reduced Exit Policy. But if we _all_ do
that there will be too little exits for users who want to connect to
'strainge' ports. That way they get less anonyimity because they can't
choose from hundreds of exits.
In general it is best practice to block/reduce as little traffic as
possible. Than we can guarantee enough diversity for everyone, even
those people using exotic applications/protocols.
I totally agree. That's why our relays allow every port except 25. But,
in the event that DMCA complaints scare away the ISP (or the exit
operator), they should go for the reduced exit policy (and look for a
better ISP), instead of randomly dropping packets or otherwise filtering
traffic, which is just mean (and probably illegal).
