I don’t think Weather will be better anytime soon, as it’s been discontinued. [0] If that’s already a reason for you to stop contributing to Tor…

Although Jacob is not a part of the Tor Project any more ([1][2]), in his time as a (very visible) digital advocate, it obviously was in the interest of the Tor Project to see him in a Tor T-shirt most of the time.

And finally, your T-Shirt “calculation” is a bit off: [3]
We want to make sure our shirts help outreach happen all around the world, so please understand if we can't send you 5 shirts for your 5 excellent relays.

As Moritz already said, the shirt is a way for the community to show appreciation to individuals and not a way to fill your wardrobe.

Also, maybe there’s a way for some people here to increase the number of volunteers handling the T-shirt requests? :-)

Should we stop Tor until Weather's better?

{ I notice Jacob is always in a new Tor t-shirt but I will wait for evidence to go further.}

I think you're missing the point of running a Tor relay.

"The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth."

Volunteer: A person who freely offers to undertake a task, or, freely offer to do something.

Donate: give (money or goods) for a good cause.

The Tor Project doesn't owe you anything.

When did t-shirts become more important than the work we are doing to
keep people safe and anonymous on the internet?

Actually they are.

I haven't bought any shirts for four years because I can get one tshirt for 60 days of a virtual server costing $Aud15-40/year which makes them $2 to $6 each.  None have worn out and they're posted free!

So, with up to 40 VPSs running I have a huge backlog owed so quite a bit of interest in the situation and relatives waiting.
