Thank you for supporting Tor!
And thank you for asking in advance.

More exit relays are good, and we should encourage people who want to
help the network.

This is a reminder that we need more exit operators, running more large
exits. If we think your exit share is a problem, the best way to make
that problem go away is to add other exits.

We're also working on better geographic diversity in bandwidth
authorities, and this may cause relay weights to shift a bit. So that's
another way we could end up resolving this issue :-)
