Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:114 cypherpunks]:
 > How "unreasonable"?
 How is "breaking half the Internet" not unreasonable?

 > And why ignoring this issue is a "good" thing?
 Since the proposal as it stands isn't serious. (which is a shame
 considering that the underlying issue is real, and Cloudflare is guilty)

 > The problem is they, including Tor Project, are allowing Cloudflare
 censorship on many users. This is not just about Tor users.
 Tor can't do little to stop an organization from blocking Tor users, plus
 CF captchas got so low nowadays so it's no longer that much of a concern
 (the real thing is the MiTM and semi-Global Active Adversary status).
