For a few months I've been tracking this ticket:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6676
Regarding the state of family support. I've been working on a project which could be used to expand the number of running relays and have been trying to find the best way to coordinate this so as to make it both obvious who the operator is (which can be done with contact info) as well as to help users avoid building circuits within these related nodes.
In the vein of "playing nicely" with the network my concern is that when running large scale infrastructure one needs to minimize the number of moving pieces possible. Ideally this would allow me (in the best case scenario) to supply a static family identifier en masse minimizing the need for managed configurations.
In the worst case scenario (that of an entity trying to launch a sybil attack) the administrator would not even attempt to populate this so as to try and appear as separate nodes in the network.
Do folks have suggestions on the best way to "play nice" here?
