[tor-relays] Revised Opt-In Trial: Fallback Directory Mirrors

[Tim Wilson-Brown - teor]

Hi all,

Nick sent an email in December[0] asking relay operators to opt-in as a fallback directory mirror.
This will help tor clients reach the tor network, and reduce the load on directory authorities.[1]

We will keep the opt-ins and opt-outs submitted so far - no need to opt-in or opt-out again!

If you run an under-utilised exit, we encourage you to opt-in as a fallback directory.
We've also fixed a major bug that excluded some relays from the list. (Thanks starlight!)

Here's the latest list of fallback directory candidates:

This list was generated a few minutes ago from scripts/maint/updateFallbackDirs.py in my branch fallback-17887-17888-18035 on [2]. (This branch has some bug fixes compared to what's in master.)
