I couldn't agree more. I understand that the decision to hire any
intelligence agent is a difficult one for a project like Tor. But
hiding it from the community calls into question the vaunted
'transparancy' the project constantly talks about. If they weren't
forthcoming about this, a major development that could absolutely
effect community trust, one has to wonder what else they aren't being
completely forthcoming about with the community?

OTOH, I think the leak about DaveC should also strengthen our trust in
the integrity of the people who run the Tor Project. They didn't just
say 'let's lie about it and hide it from the community'. There was
great debate, a lot of discussion, and a bit of agonizing how to best
handle this. They didn't take this lightly by any means. Still, in the
end, we have what we have and that's not good.

Tor Project definitely needs to address this publicly. This misstep
could really harm user trust.
