> Another point is that geoip is pretty flawed, and we put the decision
who can/can't be a relay into maxmind's hand. I think the whole feature is
probably not useful, and having it on by default additionally gives a bad
impression
I think that's a strong argument for setting badexit rather than rejecting
-- so if somebody in Germany sets up a relay and wonders why it isn't
working, it's easier to realize "oh hey, Maxmind thinks you're in Iran".
Let me turn the question around: if we learned that a given relay was
logging all traffic that its users generate, and putting those logs up on
its website, would we badexit that relay? I think we would. And that's
what Syria is doing.
