I've confirmed the reports of UK ISPs censoring Wikipedia using some
UK tor exists.

I think it's time to find a better technical solution to deal with
censorship in different countries.

Technical solutions to circumvent censorship are welcome of course. But don't forget that Tor is designed to be an anonymity tool, not an anti-censorship tool. At the moment I see it as the responsibility of the user to choose an appropriate exit-node when he/she suspects censorship.

Of course you could use the exit-policies to publish the censorship for each exit node, but that would result in the directories to hold a list of all blocked IPs for each ISP, what would impair performance I guess.
