be a bad relay?
What do you mean by being a 'bad relay'? I am talking about a maximum
number of sockets should a relay operator desire it (I am sorry if my
patch does not make it too clear, it's my ADHD).
I am thinking that for people who run Tor relays on servers with other
applications (web, email, etc.), or run multiple Tor instances, this could
help with resource limitation without requiring virtualization (VMWare,
Xen, etc.) or containerization (Docker, FreeBSD Jails, etc.). But I could
understand your concern with this option if you could give an explanation.
