Now, this is strange. 

First: AN.ON contains some kind of law enforcement functionality -
obviously the law enforcement doesn't like to use it, although it's
supposed to be there?

Second: IIRC(!) one of the main points of criticism of the AN.ON people
against the tor project is that tor will have serious problems if the
police will start confiscating servers at a large scale because noone
will provide tor servers any more, while AN.ON will be immune to
confiscation because of the servers being provider by large companiyes
with law professionals. Possibly this argument just crumbled to dust?

Just my 2c and it's currently late... I'll re-read this tomorrow ;)
