The current stable version of Tor (0.2.2.x) still supports Exit enclaves. The new versions of Tor (> 0.2.3.x) use a new descriptor format (microdescriptors) allow relays to specify an Exit Enclave policy, but clients will not use it, therefore voiding the purpose of exit enclaving.
Is there a plan to re-enable clients to use exit enclaves?
The overall consensus that I got from discussing this in IRC is that Exit Enclaves where never thought of very well and they already did not have all the properties that we wanted.
Re-enabling clients to use exit enclaves requires changes to the microdescriptor format, and since they have issues we should not encourage their use.
