Can we have a torrc option to make a relay NTor-only? Could help on some CPU-limited relays like the Raspberry Pi or (in my case) Intel Atom. With some mechanism to ensure that TAP-only clients do not even see or try to use that relay (so they don't experience any broken connections). -- With respect, Roman
