Re: [tor-relays] not specified families

["Aurel W." <aurel.w@xxxxxxxxx>]

Shouldn't this be treated more seriously? There are literally over 100
high bandwidth relays, which should specify a family but which don't.
If you monitor a client, it is very frequently that circuits are built
where two relays are clearly controlled by the same person.

As a first try I mailed to two contact email addresses, but I haven't
got any response.
