Comment (by irl):

 Summary as we come to the end of the year:

 * We have an exitmap based scanner that produces comparable results to the
 current exit scanner.
 * We can (untested) run a cron job to fetch the output of this scanner to
 power check.tpo.
 * We do not currently have a replacement for the DNSBL portion of the
 service, which will block this for now.
 * In the new year, one of the first things I'd like to do is deploy the
 new exit scanner software to a TPA host. I will file a new ticket to
 request that host seperately.
