+Jann Horn drew attention [XXX] to a potential issue caused by some Tor
+relays sending out globally-sequential IP IDs. Roger Dingledine
+linked [XXX] to an academic paper connected with the same question,
+while Daniel Bilik suggested [XXX] one method of preventing this from
+happening on FreeBSD. Exactly how significant this issue is (or is not)
+for the Tor network is very much an open question; further research into
+which operating systems it affects, and how it might be related to known
+attacks against anonymity, would be very welcome.
