I've just realized that this could be more people adopting the Reduced Exit Policy, which takes up a ton more space in the Tor router directory than does the Default Exit Policy: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/ReducedExitPolicy I bet Karsten could tell us for sure, using the descriptor archive set. We need to standardize a more succinct way to represent this policy, once we converge on a set of ports that we like for it. Either that, or create a way to represent the policy in the consensus just once, and have nodes declare their conformity to that policy by only specifying the token for it from the consensus... -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
