Is tortunnel evil since it maybe hacks Tor-cirucits to reduce the number

Yes, unfortunately quite a few people use it.
It hurts the network by endangering exit node operators, and
by completely ignoring any of the load balancing that happens
in normal Tor.
Just wondering if anybody from the Tor Project has contacted the author to express the concerns with tortunnel. Particularly about it being detrimental to the Tor network.
