Replying to [comment:17 nickm]:
> Adding a reason for this seems like a fine thing to me.
Yet another case where we wish we'd sorted out and implemented that
proposal to reserve half the reason space as retriable reason codes.
Oh hey, I just checked the code again, and apparently I already chose
END_STREAM_REASON_MISC, not EXITPOLICY, as the reason code when we send
back the end cell. I'm so smart. Nevermind my above comment about
EXITPOLICY then.
Does that mean the current plan is to use MISC for now (and for the next
couple years), but teach clients to recognize some other reason, and
eventually plan to move to sending that reason, at which point clients
will be able to discover that they're being refused due to thinking
they're trying to cheat?
> For configuration, a tristate torrc option whose default value is "do
whatever the consensus says" seems right.
That does seem slightly smarter than what I was going to do, which was a
boolean config option which turns it on no matter what when 1, and uses
whatever's in the consensus when 0. If you have some implementation ideas
in mind, please do run with them.
