Comment:

 "relay diversity" isn't clearly defined, and needs more research to work
 out the impact of favouring relays which have rare properties (and which
 properties those should be).

 It's also not clear if there is a kind of diversity that would be good for
 all or most users, or if the kind of diversity users need depends on their
 individual threat models.
