And manage to make yourself look like someone doing a targeted MITM
attack on tor users.  :(

The above use cases should be handled by improving the exit enclave
support and convincing these sorts of major sites to run their own
exists.

If you'd like to cut abuse without looking like an attacker yourself
you're best off limiting your exit to ports which cause few abuse
complaints.  IRC and other chat protocols are probably good examples.
