Sure, I made a notice that you shouldn't do it if you care about the

Curious, never knew that. Could you please send a link or whatever that
explains how this marking/detection works?
By the way, the only way to 'mark relay as bad' I know is to assign
BadExit flag (but it's only for exits). Is there something else?
