Comment (by arma):
My preference would be for padding cells to have a 0 byte payload
currently, and then we randomize the non payload portions of relay cells
like we (sometimes) say we do.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand why we'd want to do a
hybrid "8 bytes of 0's and then random after that" model for the non
payload portions of the relay cells.
As a concrete example, see proposal 289 for a case where we will want the
non payload part of the relay data cell to be random (even if it's only
one byte).
