Imagine one hostile dirauth that votes for this flag on every relay it cannot control. Guessing the result is left as an exercise to the reader :).



(Spoiler: IIUC, this will result in using only attacker-controlled relays as entries and exits, resulting in both-ends control of all external and hidserv circuits).
