I am losing patience with the "let's play nice and let exit IP addresses
be predictable" model... We are not being treated well by the banhammer
brigade, and it might be time to flip some tables. I would not call
simply using a different exit IP than your relay's OR port a bad exit.

However, re-routing exit traffic back into Tor like this is not the
answer. It is simply wasteful. I am in favor of delisting such relays.

Remember that our directory authorities are deliberately independent
from TPI though, and even what I think is not necessarily what TPI
thinks. The dirauths may have different opinions. Coordinating policy of
this nature is difficult and requires consensus building.

Again, I understand your frustration.
