I'd agree that randomly handing off nodes is bad.
And that there may be cases where structured handoff
among operators or to new operators could be useful
once such structure was developed.
And that certainly people have handed off nodes amongst
themselves privately many times before, be it amongst
friends or some entity/sponsor running nodes where the
original humans or entity has moved on, etc.

More on the notion of trust and metrics in the mesh...

That would be picked up in geoip, and should be
something Tor checks for on each startup (I don't know
if Tor blindly uses fingerprints already in state file or
revalidates them against all other metrics of the user
before use.)
