Comment:

 Calling this wontfix for now: that doesn't mean "never" but it means "not
 any time soon".

 Mesh networks are cool and all, but a trac ticket isn't going to be the
 way to get better Tor support for them. Probably the best way to more
 forward here is not on trac, but in the research literature and/or a
 series of design proposals or tor-dev threads.
