I agree that having a central list is highly problematic, because several sites will request
to take them off that list. But I also think that the Tor network will benefit from such a
list in the long term by having more exit nodes that at least allow many po****r sites.
It might even stimulate people to try out running an exit node and turn it into a less restricted node later on.

Sure, and they of course still should be. I don't think the number of "open" exits will drop,
and in theory there's more available bandwidth because other exit nodes take all the
"heavy" traffic (search engines and the like).

I must say that I like the idea behind this.
