If the source code and network technically permits any given
node, it is valid for discussion.

I've often suggested that all node selection and testing / ranking /
node trust pki metrics / geoip / etc all be left as subscription style
services and/or configurable parametrics for clients to choose from
or configure themselves. With some default "Tor Project" set
shipped as fine for most users, in which Tor Project acts as
one such supplier of such params.

That leave only malacting nodes and 'net useful' nodes up
to dirauths themselves. With 'useful' being no excuse to
not make efforts to scale networks to the next level.

ie: Networks like Phantom just distribute a DHT list of nodes,
so conceivably if and how you use them is up to you.
