What I meant is that I can see a use for automation when it comes to
securing a server -- not necessarily a dedicated Tor node, which, like
you correctly mentioned, probably only has ports for SSH and Tor opened
anyway -- from malicious inbound traffic.

Outbound traffic is a different beast. In a Tor server context, I don't
see what kind of automation might be able to generate policies. Also, I
don't like the idea of automated (self-)censorship on Tor exits.
