Raising the limit from 2 relays per IP to x per IP has been discussed in the past and would be an easy change.

We *still* have that limit? I thought we killed it a long time ago.

Can we kill it now? It's not going to do anything to prevent Sybils, it'll only prevent good relay operators on larger machines from giving more bandwidth.

If not kill it, raising it to 4-8 might make more sense and be a good interim step.

We could lower it again if we have real multicore support (which I still think we should aim for because it also improves the mix properties of fast relays to an external observer, but I realize is no small task).
