Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:1 phobos]:
 > Is this check.tpo (tor or not) functionality still needed when TBB 3.x
 is released?

 Yes, at least until we want to break TBB 2.x.

 > As for exit list, it's a volunteer service we've offered to the world
 for a few years. We could simply shut it down or get someone to sponsor it
 to keep it alive. HP and some forum software has it baked into their
 products assuming we'll run it forever for free.

 The exit list is the thing that check uses, and also the thing that bulk
 exit list uses. They're all tied together.

 bridgedb relies on a bulk exit list output, so it can treat Tor exits
 specially. So I don't think it can go away entirely.
