Tor network status



pickaproxy.com has today started flagging the Tor network as either Ok, Use
With Caution or Not Considered Safe.  "Ok" is initially defined to mean that
there are at least 525 running, not hibernating, valid, not bad exit nodes;
500 running, not hibernating, valid relays; 300 running, valid, not
hibernating guards; 6 running, not hibernating, valid, not bad version 3
directories; 500 running, not hibernating, valid not bad version 2
directories; 32 KB/s mean and average exit bandwidth; and 40 KB/s mean and
average relay bandwidth. 

"Use With Caution" is defined to mean there are less than 1 or more of these
thresholds, but at least 375 exits, 350 relays, 150 guards, 5 version 3
directories, 250 version 2 directories, 22 KB/s mean and average exit
bandwidth, and 30 KB/s mean and average relay bandwidth. Anything less than
any of these "Use With Caution" thresholds will result in a "Not Considered
Safe" status.

Does anyone have opinions about these threshold levels and status
conditions?  And is there anything similar to this in Vidalia, or planned
for it in the future?
