Comment (by arma):

 I'm inclined to agree with the idea -- first because the Internet abuse
 landscape has changed a lot since 'the old days', but mainly because I
 worry about the "slash and burn agriculture" approach to running Tor
 relays, where you set up an exit relay, and if anybody gets angry you move
 on to another ISP. That approach is really appealing since it's simple,
 but it assumes the Internet is infinite. If in fact we're destroying land
 without regard to sustainability, and we run out of land...

 Today's interactions with ISPs influence Tor's future viability. So if
 people are accidentally exit relays without knowing it, I worry as much
 about the damage to the ISP's view of Tor as I do about the temporary
 hassle for the operator.
